Inner Shepherd Vision

Neville's Inner Vision

See the king as the ego demanding outward victory and flattering forecasts. Micaiah's first reply, 'Go, and prosper,' is the ego-friendly prophecy that pleases the surface; yet the deeper truth comes as a vision: Israel scattered on the hills, sheep with no shepherd. This is the inner state when the I AM has not assumed charge—the mind without a shepherd, the kingdom without guidance. In Neville's terms, events reveal the limit of consciousness by its current assumption. The remedy is simple: assume the I AM as your indwelling ruler, revise the belief that power rests in armies or rulers, and feel the presence of a shepherd guiding every thought. When you acknowledge the inner shepherd, you cease chasing external outcomes and begin to experience peace and true direction. The deliverance you seek is thus the realization that you govern from within, and the world reflects the new inner alignment.
