Deliverance From Inner Lions

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the lion’s mouth and the horns of the unicorns symbolize ferocious circumstances and the stubborn, imagined obstacles that seem to threaten you. In Neville’s language, the verse is not about external lions but about your inner states. I am the I AM who is always listening and answering. When you feel the fear of the lion, recognize that you are not at the mercy of a world but are perceiving from a conditioned stance of lack. To be heard is to realize that the right state already exists in you; the voice that answers comes from within, your own consciousness affirming, 'I am delivered, I am saved.' The horn imagery points to increasingly stubborn beliefs and stubborn mental plays that pretend to be power. Your work is to revise the scene: assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, feel the relief as if it has already occurred, and let the fear dissolve in the light of awareness. Deliverance is the shift of state, not a change in the world.
