Benaiah: Inner Courage

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, Benaiah is the I AM—your unshakable, valiant self. The two lionlike Moabites and the lion in the snowy pit are not distant enemies but inner states of fear and resistance that rise in consciousness. When you seek, you are not defeating outer circumstances; you are claiming a greater fact: the I AM here now is fearless and has already triumphed. The Egyptian giant with the spear points to a looming sense of lack or threat in your mind, yet by refusing to react in fear and instead seizing the spear with a steady staff of attention, you show how to transmute threat into tool and move energy toward victory. Your acts in imagination cultivate a renown in the three mighties—fidelity, courage, strength—within your inner life. The tale invites you to revise your sense of self: live as the fearless self now, and let your outer world reflect that inward state.
