Turning Inward to Humility

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the cry 'Thus my heart was grieved... I was foolish and ignorant' is the inner friction between a fixed self-image and the living presence within. The heart’s grief is the pain of clinging to a story that excludes the divine within; the reins prick denotes a jolting awareness that the old self, the ego-image, cannot stand before the I AM. When you identify with 'foolish' or 'beast before thee,' you have separated yourself from your true nature as consciousness. Neville would say: change the state, not the scene; revise the self and dwell in the awareness that you are the I AM, already wise, already humble, already turned toward higher discernment. The moment you refuse to believe the limitation and instead assume the end, the inner movement changes. What seems like repentance is simply the turning of attention from a memory of limitation to the awareness of your divine nature. In that moment the inner landscape aligns with wisdom, and outward events reflect your revised state.
