Inner Mark, Inner Identity

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you this: the mark in the right hand or forehead is never a thing you put on your body; it is a state you accept in your own mind. The 'beast' is the collective world-chatter that would bind you to fear, appetite, and mere survival by external signs. When I am aware, I recognize that I am the I AM, the all-perceiving consciousness. A belief becomes real only as I consent to it; the mark you fear is an impression of another's will pressed upon your imagination. To free yourself, you must refuse to take the stamp of conformity, and instead reaffirm your unity with the one mind that knows no bondage. Begin by assuming you are already marked with freedom, not by society's devices, and revise every thought that suggests you are identified by status, cash, or power. Feel it real that you are not the mark but the witness who chooses the meaning of the mark. In this inner act, you wage real spiritual warfare by choosing inner sovereignty and worship of the I AM over outward worship.
