Inner Fear and Travail Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear is not an outside foe but a state of consciousness you entertain. When Psalms 48:6 says fear took hold there, it points to the moment you allow your imagination to dwell on danger, pain, and endings. The 'there' is the inner ground your I AM visits when you concede to a future you do not desire. The pain described—like travail—signals inward contractions through which a new you can be formed by attention and feeling. Here you reverse the condition by assuming a different state: I AM the awareness that remains unshaken; I AM the calm observer who sees through fear; I AM the energy by which events rearrange themselves. As you persist in this assumption, the inner weather shifts: fear recedes, pain becomes energy rechanneled into growth, and life moves toward perseverance, hope, and righteous action. Feel it real now: you are the I AM, and your imagination is the instrument by which you birth a new inner climate. The verse invites you to dwell in the end you choose and let your I AM guide the creation.
