Courage at the City Gate

Neville's Inner Vision

At first glance the four leprous men are worn states of consciousness pressed against the gate of awareness. The gate stands as your threshold where lack seems solid; the famine is the inner sense of depletion. When they propose they will move toward the host of the Syrians, they enact a bold inner decision to move toward the supply they believe exists beyond fear. In Neville’s counsel the world outside is a projection of your inner state, and the Syrians camp represents a consciousness thick with possibility. Whether they are saved or killed is the two faced coin of acting on imagination; the real victory is the act of stepping into a state that already contains the answer. By marching toward the host, they shift from separation to wholeness and revise their feeling about safety and provision. The same shift is possible for you: decide in your mind that you are already supplied, and let your inner action draw the outer circumstance into alignment.
