Awakening From Dreamlike Desolation

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that desolation is not a distant judgment but a shift in your inner weather. When you entertain terrifying pictures of others or outcomes—the loss, the collapse, the chase for power—the mind tightens into a fear-state that feels like reality. In Neville's view, the world is a dream projected from inner beliefs; you are not at the mercy of external events, you are the dreamer who can wake. The word desolation signals a momentary collapse of the old story, a loosening of the idol image that once seemed indomitable. When the inner I AM awakens to itself, the image you worship loses its charge; the Lord, understood as the I AM within you, despises the image by refusing to identify with it. The awakening dissolves the projection, and the external world rearranges to reflect your renewed inner fact. Practice: return to the certainty that you are consciousness, the observer of the dream, and claim that you are awake now.
