Inner Rebuke and Restoration

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the speaker fears rebuke and pain, yet in the I AM sense you may reinterpret these lines as inner movements of consciousness. 'Wrath' and 'hot displeasure' are not external punishments but the clutter of old beliefs clinging to separation. The 'arrows' that stick in the body become pointed thoughts or judgments that invite you to change your state. The 'hand presseth me sore' is the inward pressure of your own assumptions pressing you toward a new feeling-state. In Neville's practice, you do not resist; you revise. You assume the state you desire, feel it real, and let the old sense of punishment dissolve. The moment you accept the timeless presence of I AM, pressure becomes a catalyst for renewal, and suffering becomes a signal to align with your true self. Try this now: assume you are in a state of unwavering calm, and imagine the arrows releasing as your attention settles into that peace.
