Lifted Burdens, Inner Vision

Neville's Inner Vision

Symbolically, the lead is the stubborn heaviness of a thought you cling to, the mind-made weight you carry as if it proved something about you. The ephah is your current pattern of belief—how you measure yourself and the world—so the 'woman' within it signifies a fixed attitude you have allowed to rule you, a sense of wickedness you keep labeling yourself with. When the angel declares this as wickedness and seals its mouth with lead, it marks a moment of inner judgment that stops you from speaking the old story aloud. Then two women with wings—the wind in their wings—arrive to lift the ephah between earth and heaven. This is your imagination at work: the very energy that created you moves the burden to a higher plane, not by abolishing it, but by changing your relation to it. You, the I AM consciousness, become the observer of the motion, not its captive. The burden loses its power as you identify with awareness, not with the weight you carry.
