Valley Of Giants Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the Valley of Rephaim is not a geography but a state of consciousness. The valley is a dark place where old fears gather like giants, and the Philistines represent persistent thoughts and external pressures that claim mental space. When you read that they 'spread themselves,' imagine your awareness being occupied by doubts, fatigue, or familiar antagonists of self-belief. Yet nothing exists outside the mind you inhabit; every 'enemy' is a projection of inner life. The key is to awaken to the I AM—the steady observer who can revise the scene from within. By assuming the end—freedom, victory, and the sense that you are the I Am in command—you dissolve the invaders' occupancy. The valley becomes a threshold, and the giants shrink as you inhabit your desired state. Liberation is a present experience, realized by a shift of inner posture rather than a future battle.
