Inner Darkness, Inner Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Suppose with me that the fifth angel is a correcting movement in consciousness, pouring its vial on the seat of the beast—the stubborn belief in a separate, insecure self. When that belief is touched by awareness, the beast’s kingdom becomes full of darkness—the night of fear, habit, and appetite that gnaws at the tongue of the ego. Darkness here is not a punishment but a signal that a new seeing is possible. The I AM—your essential awareness—wakes to witness the theatre without identifying with it. In that moment the power of the beast loosens, and the inner atmosphere clears as you revise the scene: the world is the visible fruit of your inner assumption. The gnawing pain fades as you acknowledge you are not the pain, you are the one who sees through it. This is the prophecy fulfilled: you awaken to the Kingdom of God within, learning that judgment is simply a turning of attention back to the truth of being.
