Inner Siege of Ramah

Neville's Inner Vision

Where you see a king coming up against another, notice that the whole drama is an inner state trying to fix itself. The six and thirtieth year marks not chronology but a moment in your consciousness when a boundary is created in the mind. Ramah stands for the boundary you set to keep your thoughts and possibilities from entering or leaving your kingdom of awareness. Baasha is the habit of fear and limitation that asserts itself as if it governs your actions. Asa is your present sense of I am, the ruler you identify with in the moment, and the siege is the belief that this sense is hemmed in by outer powers. Events are inner movements: a thought forms, you feel compelled to restrain, and you call it law. The remedy is not to war with the outer world but to revise the inner state: claim the I AM as king, dissolve the barrier, and allow new impulses and possibilities to enter. In that act, your awareness remains unmoved while the scene rearranges itself to match your new assumption.
