Inner Battle at the Gate

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's light the battle before the gate is not a historical clash but a scene inside your mind: the armies are crowded thoughts and fears pressing at the boundary of your awareness, while the kings are inner sovereigns—will, imagination, and faith—who stand apart in the field of consciousness awaiting your command. These are all states of awareness, not external armies. By assuming a new state—becoming the I AM, the gatekeeper and ruler—you reorder the field. Tell yourself, I am the one who commands this field; the armies dissolve into a single movement of perception, and the inner kings move into the city, guiding action with providential ease. As you dwell on this assumption, the sense of conflict shifts to harmony, and the outer scene mirrors your inner alignment.
