Scripture Focus

2And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

3Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.

Zechariah 5:2-3

Biblical Context

Zechariah sees a flying roll measuring twenty by ten cubits, declared as the curse over the earth, punishing those who steal and those who swear.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's language, this vision is a symbol of your inner law at work. The flying roll is not an external judgment but the movement of your own consciousness when you accept scarcity or condemnation. The earth represents your entire field of experience; questions of theft and oath reflect the acts of belief you entertain about yourself. The roll travels because you have consented to a mental economy in which you must compete, take what isn't yours, or swear to defend your right. Yet the law is neutral and obedient to your assumption. When you revise the inner posture—refuse the notion that you are lacking, and affirm I AM presence, abundance, and integrity—the roll loses its power and dissolves into stillness. You are the one who sets the terms of the landscape by what you imagine to be true; your outer world follows the inner decree you hold about yourself. The curse becomes a blessing when you realize you are its author and you rewrite it with the feeling of already having what you seek.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling that abundance is already your state; repeat, 'I am the I AM, abundance flows now' until it rests in your bones. Then move through your day with that state, re-feeling every moment as if the roll has already been reversed.
