Allied Struggles Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a map of your soul's current conditions. The Hagarites and their companions are not strangers but impulses and attitudes vying for allegiance in your mind. When you feel a conflict between parts of you—the cautious, the ambitious, the neglected, the righteous—these are the allied and enemy nations in the field of your consciousness. The war is not fought with swords but with thoughts, images, and purposes. Providence, the I AM within, moves by your assumption, your inner tone, guiding movements toward a harmonized state. The verse invites you to stand as the witness of this inner drama, to correct your judgments and re-align your inner kingdom with righteousness and justice. When you imagine the scene, you are practice of the kingdom of God within; you choose which factions gain sway by the vividness of your inner assumption. The moment you decide that you are already one with the I AM, you dissolve the war by locating unity in the self, and you awaken to the truth that your inner world is the workshop of reality.
