Arising Into Inner Exile

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the woman represents your state of consciousness; the man of God is the inner guide, the I AM. When she arose and permitted his word to direct action, she did more than relocate a family—she shifted her entire inner state. The seven years spent among the Philistines signify a season of inner withdrawal from familiar stories of lack and fear, a psychological exile that allows a deeper alignment with truth to take root. Obedience here is not submission but alignment with the inner law that you are already where you desire to be. The household stands for your thoughts and feelings; stepping into a foreign land with them is the soul's journey into a new mental climate where old limitations no longer govern you. When the period ends, you return renewed, for the inner self has learned to dwell in the presence of the divine voice. The outward event mirrors a completed interior transformation: you have learned to live from the realized state while the senses remain quiet.
