Inner Command, Outer War

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the ambassadors to the king are your inner messengers—conscience, imagination, the I AM. When Josiah hears, 'God commanded me to make haste,' that sounds like a divine directive pressed on him from without. Yet the true order of life is not outer victory but the alignment of your inner state with the God within. To hear the Lord’s instruction and then disguise your true self in defense of a self-willed plan is to fight in the valley of Megiddo with your own shadow. The archers that wound Josiah are the natural consequences that spring when you meddle with God’s order, when you refuse to listen to the still, small voice within. In your own meditation, realize you are not judged by outer events but by your fidelity to the I AM. When you revise the impulse to act on fear-based command, you awaken to a field where apparent war dissolves into quiet harmony. Your true victory comes when you rest in divine direction and let the inner command do the work.
