Whispers of Betrayal Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, these verses reveal a state of consciousness rather than a mere historical event. The whispers of hatred are the mind’s stray thoughts when I forget who I am. The 'evil disease' clinging to him is the belief that a condition can attach to me from without, a conviction born of identification with a persona or role. And the heel lifted by a familiar friend marks the moment a trusted idea—closeness, safety, reciprocity—seems to betray me. The outer scene, in truth, is the mirror of inner psychology. If I seed the imagination with fear that I am vulnerable to ruin, the body follows and the world confirms it. But if I awaken to the I AM as my sole reality, the whole plot rearranges itself. I can revise the moment by feeling the fact of my oneness, watching the scene as a dream, and declaring, 'I am the I AM; nothing can dethrone me.' In that recognition, hatred becomes a call to realignment, illness dissolves in awareness, and the supposed 'betrayer' points me to a higher alignment with God within.
