Dragon of Inner Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner eye, the dragon is not an external monster but a state of consciousness: fear dressed in pride, bondage wearing a crown of imagined authority. Heaven is the still, aware I AM within you. Its seven heads are the many voices that insist, the ten horns the stubborn beliefs that empower those voices, and the seven crowns the daily, habitual rulership you grant to the thought-world. When you behold this vision, you are not watching a battle outside but revising the ruler within. By assuming the feeling of your I AM as already dominant, you reverse the imagined power line: the dragon loses its 'head' and is tamed by the realized presence. The prophecy and promise of the Kingdom of God become tangible as you claim dominion over your own consciousness. Judgment arises not as punishment but as corrective awareness—a shift in posture from identification with fear to identification with the I AM. If you dwell there, you witness the dragon's menace recede, and peace take its place as your natural state.
