Inner Folly, Inner Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember, the image is inner, not external. The dog and vomit symbolize a recurring state of consciousness to which you may still identify. The fool is the part of you that keeps re-entering a thought-feeling you associate with lack or limitation. When you yield to that memory, you re-enter old patterns and reenact the folly in your inner world, thereby shaping outer life. Yet God is the awareness that witnesses the pattern and names it. To end the cycle, do not fight the pattern with force; revise by assuming the desired state is already real and feel it now. Close your eyes and declare, 'I am the I AM that does not return to old folly; I am now in a new state.' Then feel that state—its confidence, calm, and generosity—and persist in it until the old pull dissolves. Imagination is your healing agent; you heal by living from the new consciousness you cultivate here and now.
