Inner Winepress of Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your inner world, the winepress is the pressure of judgment pressed upon the ego by the I AM that knows all. When the presses happen 'without the city'—outside the worn image you call yourself—it signals that what is being judged is not the person you think you are, but an old identity you have outgrown. The blood spilling is not punishment but release: the shedding of fear and limitation as consciousness makes room for a higher possibility. The phrase 'to the horse bridles' marks the depth of release, the moment old emotional reins are loosened and let go, over a span that feels vast because inner time expands as you awaken. This is a picture, not doom, but the inevitable conversion when the I AM asserts its rightful rule over your assumptions and self-image. You are not at the mercy of external events; you are the operator of inner causation, and every crushing pressure can dissolve into clarity when seen as the shedding of a belief that kept you from your true state and its radiant freedom.
