Inner Prophet of Bethel

Neville's Inner Vision

In this Bethel scene you are invited to see the old prophet not as a figure of the past, but as a fixed state of consciousness you consciously entertain. Bethel is your inner sanctuary, where awareness abides; the prophet within stands as your unwavering I AM. The sons who report to him are your thoughts bringing you the daily impressions of life, and their telling to the father mirrors how your inner state relays its verdict to the sense of self. When the man of God speaks to the king, interpret that utterance as the clear guidance your higher self gives to your outer life—the king: your activities, your body, your circumstances. The king receives the words because you first imagine them inside; the outward scene then echoes that decree. Nothing happens by chance; every event is the outward effect of an inward decree. The old prophet’s presence reminds you that truthfulness to your inner command wins the day. It is not the event you seek to alter, but the state you assume about yourself—your I AM—until the world reports back to you, faithfully, what you have assumed.
