Inner Armies at Jezreel

Neville's Inner Vision

On the plane of consciousness, the Philistines are not merely a foe arrayed in history; they are the outer form of your own fears and opinions marching to Aphek. The fountain at Jezreel marks a refreshing point in your inner weather, a place where belief can be cooled and rehydrated by awareness. The Israelites’ camp signals a conditional stance in your mind—present, yet dependent on the next movement of circumstance. David and his men in the rereward with Achish symbolize a consciousness that seems to belong to two orders: the ego clinging to a worldly alliance while the heart clings to a deeper, quieter allegiance to the I AM within. Neville would have you see the visible scene as a mirror of inner vibrations, not an immutable fact. The true power lies in the presence that does not bend with shifting armies—the Kingdom of God within. When you revise the scene by assuming a higher state—recognize yourself as the I AM, regard the opposing crowd as dreams fading in light, and feel that unity already established—you enter the exile’s return: you inhabit the inner throne and no longer depend on outward battles for your peace.
