Inner Arrows and Juniper Fire

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the sharp arrows are not external weapons but the pictures and words your mind assigns to people or events. The mighty are the ruling thoughts—the self-defining narratives you have identified with as I AM. The coals of juniper signal a heat of purification that, when welcomed, refines consciousness back to the I AM, the witnessing awareness. In Neville's terms, every event is a state of consciousness; the arrows are inner movements of belief, the heat is pressure that forces a shift. Do not fight them as invasions from without; acknowledge them as a movement within your inner world. The moment you assume a higher state—the I AM calm, all-seeing—you revise the meaning: the arrows lose power as you claim the observer position; the coals become warmth that purifies your character and integrity. This is spiritual warfare waged by imagination: not coercion, but the deliberate re-embedding of meaning into the I AM. Judgment and accountability arise from your current state of awareness; you are not at the mercy of others' arrows, but the author of the inner scene.
