Stubborn Heart, Inner Turning

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you there is a state of consciousness that resists the inward command, like a king who does evil and refuses to bow to the inner prophet. The line about not humbling himself before the prophet speaking from the mouth of the LORD is the inner voice you hear as the I AM—your awareness reminding you of your real nature. The rebellion against the oath is symbolic of clinging to external forms while ignoring the living word within. The stiff neck and hardened heart are the stubborn ego that resists turning unto the LORD God of Israel, the true inner state of divine alignment. To transform, you must realize you are both the speaker and the hearer of this word. Assume a posture of willingness, revise any false allegiance to outward appearances, and feel the reality of unity with the inner LORD. When you imagine the inner prophet speaking from the mouth of your I AM, you dissolve pride and invite repentance as a shift in your state of consciousness,—not a distant event but a moment of inner alignment you can choose now.
