End, Fire, and Inner Silence

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the psyche the lover of Truth does not fear the end; he seeks to know where his old self ends so a new sense of 'I' may awaken. 'I was dumb with silence' and 'I held my peace' signal the moment the mind ceases to react to appearances and instead stands in the I AM that is always present. The 'fire' that burns while he muses is the rising imagination directed toward self-knowledge; as the heart grows hot with insight, the tongue speaks not to man but to consciousness itself, asking to be shown the end and the measure of days. Neville would say: tell the inner I AM what you want as already accomplished. The awareness of frailty becomes the lever by which you revise your sense of time, health, and possibility. When you assume the end—the full, complete present of your desire—the present moment expands and you live from the end, not toward it. Endurance becomes ease, and fear dissolves in the light of revised identity.
