Beast of Deceptive Voice Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the beast is not a creature in the outer world, but a state of consciousness that rises from the earth of your own mind. The two horns like a lamb signal a seeming gentleness, an appearance of piety, a voice that pretends to sanctify what you want to hear. Yet the phrase spake as a dragon exposes its true thickness: the voice coils fear, domination, and division, using clever rhetoric to persuade you away from your inner I AM. In Neville's terms, the scene asks you to observe the inner movements of belief rather than judge the outer show. The dragon's mouth, when listened to as fact, fragments true worship by making you rely on symbols, rituals, or persons rather than the undivided awareness that you are. Return to the inner I AM, claim your felt reality of unity, and challenge the deceptiveness by revision. The beast dissolves when you assume the state you desire: awareness intact, power whole, and worship aligned with truth.
