Inner Prophet of Truth

Neville's Inner Vision

Within me, the question 'Is there not a prophet of the LORD' becomes: is there a state of awareness that can tell me the truth about my mind and its patterns? The 'prophet' is not a person but a degree of consciousness—the I AM that listens to itself. When the king says, 'There is yet one man… by whom we may inquire of the LORD,' and the messenger 'doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil,' I see the ego's craving for flattering prophecies. The line 'I hate him' is the ego recoiling from responsibility for belief and action. Jehoshaphat's insistence to hear the truth is my own impulse to fidelity—to face what my deeper self already knows about my life. Micaiah's 'evil' is a reality check: truth about my current stance, not punishment. My task is to revise the story until the truth becomes the guiding light, to assume the state that aligns with my highest good, and to feel the certainty that I am guided by inner wisdom. In that alignment, I discover that the desired prophecy—truth, faithfulness, and discernment—becomes my lived experience.
