Inner Snare, Inner Light

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the 'proud' and their snares are not distant enemies but movements of your own consciousness. The 'snare' is a belief of limitation you have rehearsed; the cords and nets are the habitual patterns you spin in thought when fear or pride grips you. In this Neville-inspired reading, the outer scene is a mirror of an inner state. The verse asks you to see that your I AM—your unconditioned awareness—can reframe the entire scene by a single assumption. If you insist that the condition is already fulfilled, you dissolve the cords, loosen the nets, and walk the path unafraid. Pride, then, is merely the old self clinging to limitation; humility is the quiet turning toward the I AM and the reality you desire, here and now. When you inhabit the state of blessing, the so-called snares lose their power, and the way opens because you are the creator of the moment, not its prisoner.
