Inner Prisoner, Outer Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

I hear the groan within, and I realize the prisoner is the mind clinging to a lesser self. The death is the old story of limitation that I have outlived. In this inner hearing, God—your I AM, consciousness—answers not with punishment but with a field of possibility. When you treat the groan as a sign, you become the one who loosens the cords: you imagine the chains falling away, you feel the uplift of release, and you dwell in the certainty that freedom was always your essential state. The verse does not speak of distant mercy; it speaks of an inner act of liberation that you can perform now—refusing to identify with fear, choosing to inhabit the vision of deliverance, then letting the feeling of being unbound saturate the body and mind. This is righteousness in action: justice through renewed consciousness, salvation as waking to your true nature. Remain still in the awareness that the release is yours, and the rest will follow as the impression of your I AM grows stronger.
