Inner Treasures, Outer Breakthrough

Neville's Inner Vision

In this scene the 'treasures' are not mere metal but inner faculties—peace, discernment, courage, provision—rescued into action. Asa’s act of delivering them to Benhadad represents turning inner wealth into practical power, an attempt to secure safety by convening a stronger outer force. In Neville’s reading, Baasha and Benhadad symbolize the outer alliances of thought that keep us bound by fear and lack. When I, the I AM, imagine a new arrangement—placing my inner resources under a wiser inner command—I revise the mental background that shapes my life. The old league breaks as confidence rises; the outer events respond as if to the revised inner state. The attack on Ijon, Dan, Abelbethmaachah, and Naphtali becomes a symbol of leaving behind stale conditions once I have chosen wholeness. The forces I perceived as enemies are only reflections of earlier beliefs; by awakening to the I AM, I invite a different sequence of events. Trust, faithfulness, and the wealth of consciousness become the true forces shaping my world.
