Dissolving Inner Opposition

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the words function as a law of consciousness. The snail and the untimely birth symbolize stubborn beliefs that seem to block your sunlight. The 'they' are not external people but inner states—doubt, fear, grievance—habits of mind that pretend to govern your fate. The psalm invites you to return to the I AM, the steady witness of awareness, and to dissolve opposition by the power of imagination. When you confront a situation that appears to oppose your destiny, do not battle it with more struggle; revise it by assuming a new fact about yourself: that you are already free, that every condition is under the law of your consciousness, moving toward a favorable outcome. You are the sun, not the shadow, and light enters when you accept a present, undeniable state of being. The removal of the old picture happens as you dwell in the certainty of your forward motion, until the old image melts away and you witness the birth of a brighter inner reality. The verse thus becomes a manual for turning endings into new beginnings by the will of your I AM.
