The Flying Scroll Within

Neville's Inner Vision

I turn inward and behold a flying roll, not a page in a distant temple, but a symbol of the law written upon my own consciousness. The length and breadth—twenty cubits by ten—mark the proportions of thought and feeling I allow to govern my life. The roll’s flight is not a threat from without, but the movement of my states of consciousness passing before the I AM that I call God within. When I hear the question, 'What seest thou?', I realize that seeing is choosing: I may revise what I have accepted as true and let the new content travel to shape my world. The scroll represents the record of my righteousness and justice, not as judgment from above, but as a record I can rewrite by changing my inner state. To effect change, I do not chase outcomes; I adjust the dialogue of my inner self, imagining the roll already aligned with the beauty I desire. As I dwell in that state—the awareness that I AM—I discover the external landscape responds to the vision I hold inside.
