Deliverance From Vanity's Hand

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, 'Rid me' becomes a command to the self to withdraw allegiance from the dream of lack and from the 'strange children' who chatter vanity. Your true world, he would say, is the kingdom of your I AM, and every person or circumstance that seems to wield power over you is but a mirror of a belief you hold in your own consciousness. The 'hand' of strange children and the 'right hand of falsehood' signify habitual thoughts, opinions, and identifications that pretend to rule you. When you refuse to worship those voices and instead assume the end you desire—deliverance now—the pages turn. Imagination, rightly exercised, transfigures your inner state, and the outer world responds to that new state as if it were always so. You are not praying for rescue; you are waking into the awareness that you are already free, and the feeling of that freedom becomes your most real law. The deliverer is not outside you but the I AM within; by trusting this already-present liberty, you align your entire life with a truth that defeats every false claim.
