Inner Command for Life's Battles

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner kingdom, a messenger carries your decision to the outer world. The phrase 'the sword devoureth one as well as another' is the realization that in the realm of consciousness, no fate stands apart; every circumstance is the motion of your own assumption. The call to 'make thy battle more strong against the city' invites you to deepen your conviction, to concentrate attention on the desired state until it feels inevitable. 'Encourage thou him' becomes the directive to support the aspect of self that acts in the world—your outer life—so that it acts with confidence rather than fear. The 'city' can symbolize a goal, a relationship, or a situation you wish to overthrow through persistent imagining. Your true power is not in condemning outcomes but in reinforcing the inner posture that births them. When you accept that you, the I AM, are the author of every event, you discover that the sword’s impartiality reveals your own creative law at work. Practice: assume the end, revise any doubt, feel it real until it is living within you.
