I Know Thy Abode

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the abode is not a fortress but a state of consciousness—the I AM you are. When 2 Kings 19:27 speaks of knowing thy abode, thy going out, and thy coming in, it reveals the inner movements of mind: thoughts that rise, choices you make, and even anger you deem against the divine. The rage mentioned is fear or resistance, a mental posture that would threaten your peace. Yet the observer—God, the I AM—knows every move and remains unmoved within the field of awareness where you dwell. If you claim that field as your true identity, you disarm the supposed power of outer events. The outer invasion then reorients to reflect your revised inner state. Therefore, you are invited to remain the witness who knows, never the victim of circumstance. By restoring the sense of being the I AM, you align with a reality in which danger becomes a story and movement becomes a signal to revise, not a proof of fallibility.
