Inner Weapons of Thought

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that 'flesh' here is not your body but your present state of consciousness. The real warfare is inside the mind, where images take on power and rule your sense of what is possible. The weapons are not carnal; they are the imaginative faculties aligned with God, mighty to pull down strongholds built by habit, fear, and memory. When a thought exalts itself against the knowledge of God, it is simply a mis-taught image that your heart has accepted as real. Cast it down by asking, 'What self am I choosing to be in this moment?' and replace it with the awareness of the I AM within you—the Christ within who already knows the truth about you. Bring every thought into obedience to that living principle, and you will see the strongholds crumble. The readiness to revenge all disobedience means you maintain a steady discipline of revision, returning to the higher truth until your obedient state becomes natural. The war ends as you dwell in the realization that your mind, governed by God, is the real kingdom you inhabit.
