Shadow to I Am Strength

Neville's Inner Vision

This reading invites you to see the shadow and the locust-tossed body as symbols of changing states. You are not the shadow or the weakened flesh, but the I AM that abides as awareness. When weakness arises, refuse to argue with form; instead turn your attention inward and claim the enduring presence within. By assuming the inner truth—'I am the I AM'—you revise the scene and let the mind render steadiness where the body trembles. The shadow declines in your awareness as you dwell in the unchanging essence behind appearances, and the external disturbances become manageable by the power of inner revision. Do not fight the flesh; raise it by embracing a higher consciousness. In this way, the psalmist's demise becomes a gateway to conscious creation, where strength flows not from fatness of the flesh but from the vitality of realized being.
