Destroying Amalek Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the text, Amalek stands for the stubborn inner resistance—the memory and habit of separation that keeps you from the I AM. To 'smite' Amalek is to decide, in your imagining, that such resistance has no ultimate reality. The directive to 'utterly destroy all that they have' is a call to exhaust every possession of the old self—the fears, judgments, and attachments—that give power to separation. Even the 'man and woman' and the 'infant and suckling' are symbolic of the parts of you that must be renounced or re-born; the 'ox and sheep, camel and ass' are your outward habits and reactive patterns. The act is not external violence but a turning of your inner sight away from the old story toward the I AM, recognizing that the life you live is the expression of your inner state. When you align with the inner law—obey the Word of God within—you erase the phantom Amalek and awaken to a reign of peace, clarity, and obedience.
