Birth Of The Inner Crown

Neville's Inner Vision

I do not look at Revelation as a distant pageant, but as the living scene inside my own consciousness. The woman clothed with the sun is the I AM awakened within me, the solar awareness that stands firm while the moon of limitation rests at her feet, crowned with twelve stars of confirmed perception. The travail of birth is not a historical birth but the birth of a new state of being, a Divine idea within me forcing its expression into form. The great red dragon, with its seven heads and ten horns, is fear, habit, and doubt that would devour this birth; it is the old self resisting the birth of reality. Yet the child, who is to rule all nations with a rod iron, represents the unbending idea that governs my world; not coercion, but the steadfast truth that commands phenomena into alignment with the higher I AM. The child is caught up to God and to his throne—the consciousness of unity with the Divine, ruling from within and ascending into the throne of awareness.
