Wings Of Inner Flight

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader of consciousness, the dragon is the inner wind of fear resisting the birth of a higher state within you. The woman is your awakened awareness, newly pregnant with the Christ-born life that obeys God. The two wings of a great eagle symbolize your capacity to rise above the surface appearances and withdraw into the wilderness—the steady place in which your true nourishment occurs for a season. The flood is the flood of doubt that pours from fear, meant to carry you away from your center; the earth swallowing the flood is the inner ground of being that, through unwavering attention to the I AM, consumes worry and returns you to balance. The dragon's war with the remnant shows that the old self will resist when you advance; perseverance and steadfast obedience are required. The practical secret is this: dwell in the consciousness of I AM, assume the end you desire, and feel it real until your outer world aligns with your inner state. In that act, your external scene bends to your upward birth as surely as earth swallows flood.
