Return in Peace, Be Unshaken

Neville's Inner Vision

Seen through Neville's lens, the command 'return in peace' reveals that the world of outer authorities is a mirror of inner dispositions. The 'lords of the Philistines' are the stubborn thoughts and fears that would govern you; to go in peace is to refuse to fuel their power with resistance. You, as I AM-consciousness, remain untouched and sovereign as you pass through appearances. When you embody peace, you practice that your imagination is the causal power: you quietly assume the state of harmony as already real, and the outer scene aligns with that inner state. Therefore, the path forward is not by conquering them but by accepting them and choosing your next inner move from stillness. This obedience to the inner state preserves hope for a future where your true purpose can unfold without disturbance. The verse invites you to trust your present spiritual authority and let peace lead, so the next chapter arrives in its own time.
