Read Revelation 6 in context

Scripture Focus

Revelation 6:15

Biblical Context

Verse 6:15 describes rulers, the wealthy and the powerful, hiding in caves and mountain rocks as judgment comes. Neville would read this as an inner scene: these are facets of the self seeking shelter from truth.

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 6:15 is not about external armies seeking shelter; it is a portrait of the mind in fear, where every outward identity—kings, great men, rich men, captains, and bondsmen—has fled to fortified dens. In Neville's grammar of the soul, these titles are states of consciousness, not persons. When the seals are opened and the world seems exposed, the self seeks cover behind the dens and rocks of habit, opinion, wealth, and power. Yet these fortifications are only imagined boundaries in awareness. The I AM, your essential consciousness, does not tremble or hide; it witnesses the drama and remains unchanged. The call is to recognize that the outer scene reflects an inner movement and to revise it by assuming a different state—one of fearless presence, the feeling that you are indeed the observer and ruler of your inner kingdom. By persisting in the assumption, the hidden parts of the mind dissolve their fear and stand revealed as part of the one I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, assume the I AM as king of your inner realm and repeat, 'I am that I AM,' until fear softens. Then notice the outer drama still present, but your inner posture remains serene.
