The Silence Between Appetite and Wrath

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner reading, the people are not estranged from their lust; they do not separate the I AM from their appetite. The line about meat in the mouth marks the moment desire seeks fulfillment in the outer world; this grasp reveals a state of consciousness that mistakes power for something outside. The wrath is not punitive punishment but the natural correction that follows misidentification. The fattest and chosen are symbols for the most fortified beliefs in external security—status, possessions, and success—that fall when awareness returns to its source. Neville would say your present results are echoes of your inner state. Holiness and obedience are not external rules but the alignment of consciousness with the I AM, a turning from craving outward things toward the interior sovereign. If you wish to survive the correction without pain, revise the assumption now: I am the I AM; fullness is already mine; the outer hunger abates as awareness asserts itself.
