Cords Of Self-Imposed Sin

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the verse reveals that the 'wicked' are not caught by a punitive fate, but by a state of consciousness they have consented to inhabit. Each iniquity is an interior thread they have woven with attention, intention, and belief. The cords of sin are not external shackles but the habitual ribbons of thoughts, fears, and resentments that tighten around the heart when one identifies with them. To the I AM within you—the timeless awareness that you are—these cords are removable as you withdraw belief from the imagined power of sin. When you imagine yourself as a sinner under endless judgment, you tighten the rope; when you shift your attention to the truth of your innocence and limitless good, you loosen it. The law of consciousness teaches that you reap the effects of your inner pictures; change the picture, and the prison dissolves, revealing freedom already present. Do not ask for forgiveness from an external judge; forgive by revising your internal premise until your life reflects your inherent wholeness.
