Inner Courage in Saul's Straits

Neville's Inner Vision

On the inner plane, the strait you read about is your own mind’s pressure when the I AM forgets itself. The hiding in caves, thickets, rocks, and high places is fear’s rehearsal, a way of keeping power unseen. Crossing the Jordan into Gad and Gilead is an inner exodus toward a new conscious condition—the land of realized power. Saul waiting in Gilgal while the people tremble shows the outer self delaying action while the inner I AM remains unseen in the scene. The cure is not to conquer others but to awaken within: assume the feeling that the I AM is sovereign now, and revise the scene so that courage, not fear, leads. When you feel the wish fulfilled as present, the outer circumstance shifts and you step from wilderness into promised ground.
