Inner Army Alignment

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the unconscious, the battle before and behind is a clash of states of consciousness. Joab’s choice to bring forth the 'best of Israel' is your decision to call forth the highest faculties—discernment, steadiness, courage, faith—as the front line of action. The Syrians are not enemies in some distant field but the pressing thoughts and aggressive impulses that threaten peace; by arraying them with deliberate order, you are reconfiguring your inner scenery so that fear yields to clarity. The rest of the people given to Abishai represents the other parts of mind—supporting, coordinating, and standing in unity—so your whole being acts as one army. Notice that the outer arrangement mirrors an inner conviction: when you declare, 'I am the I AM, I choose the best within me now,' you shift perception and circumstance follows suit. The outer world becomes a field reflecting your inner alignment. Practice daily this alignment: identify the best state in you, set it at the head, and let the others organize around it, and see how images rearrange to match your chosen state.
