Abigail's Mercy Moment

Neville's Inner Vision

David stands at the threshold of action, the old impulse to retaliate as a storm in consciousness. Abigail's words reveal a higher law: the LORD withholds bloodshed when I withhold my hand. In my inner theater I am David; my enemies are the restless thoughts of grievance, fear, and pride. When I acknowledge that the I AM—my true awareness—has blocked the urge to strike, my state is changed. The blessing she bears is the creative idea I offer to the followers of my direction—the future I nourish by inner mercy, not by force. To hear her is to hear the whisper of my higher self, which says mercy dissolves the illusion of lack and binds the world to peace. My practice is to move from threat to tenderness in a single decision; the next action becomes the blessing I give to those who follow me. Thus I enter Shalom, the inner peace that accompanies a right use of power.
