Inner Mastery of 2 Chronicles 18:14-17

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a map of the mind: the outer king is your conscious will chasing results in Ramoth-gilead, while Micaiah is the inner voice of imagination—the I AM speaking within. When he says, 'Go ye up, and prosper,' you hear a tempting story born of desire, a surface belief that you want true. Yet his vision of Israel 'scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd' exposes a mind without a centered Master, a life fragmented by many guidance systems. The LORD's word that 'These have no master' is not a curse but a diagnosis: without the single shepherd, your inner life returns to peace only when you suspend the urge to control external outcomes. The king's reaction—'Did I tell thee he would prophesy evil?'—exposes the ego clinging to a preferred narrative. In your practice, accept the deeper truth: alignment with the I AM brings unity; you need not fight conditions to find peace. The inner shepherd is always present, drawing the scattered mind back to one directing center.
