Voices of Shepherds and Lions

Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah's cry is not a history lesson but a map of your inner weather. The shepherds are the old self-images that once claimed glory through outward rank and status; their glory is spoiled when you awaken to the I AM, awareness that imagined scenes are felt and not facts. The roar of the young lions is your living imagination breaking forth—powerful, purposeful energy that has been misused by pride. When the Jordan's pride is spoiled, that boundary between the land of ego and the river of life loses its grip; you discover you are not bounded by those claims but by the living presence within. The verse invites you to revise your inner theatre: you are the creator, the I AM, and the scene changes as you hold this truth in imagination. The old voices fade as you steadily refuse to identify with them, allowing the energy of the lions to align with a new self-image. Thus the judgment spoken in Zechariah becomes a promise: the old order yields to a higher life understood through the consciousness that imagines.
