Nourishing the Inner Camp

Neville's Inner Vision

David's mission is more than a chore; it is a symbolic act of inner provision. In this inner economy, the 'brothers' are faculties within you—courage, faith, patience, and speech—called to come under the banquet of awareness. The 'camp' is the field of your life where battles are fought in mind, and the 'captain of their thousand' is the commanding I AM within you, the self that orders the caravan of thoughts. The parched corn, loaves, and cheeses represent nourishing ideas, steady energy, and generous indication of your inner supply. By carrying these foods, you acknowledge that you are not lacking, but curating the conditions in which your inner workers prosper. Your task to observe how they fare becomes the discipline of watching your inner states with nonjudgmental attention, and the pledge you carry is the assurance from the higher self that your inner provisions are enough to sustain any venture. Thus, the scene becomes a practice in revision: you assume you already nourish every part of you and report back from the field as one who already thrives.
