Biblical Context
The verses describe Rizpah guarding the slain seven from birds and beasts during the harvest, symbolizing steadfast mourning and protective devotion.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner theater of consciousness, the hill before the LORD is your elevated vantage point of awareness. The seven who were hanged symbolize fixed aspects of self you once deemed must die for a higher harmony to unfold. Rizpah’s vigil—clad in sackcloth, keeping watch from harvest to heaven’s rain—speaks of an inner state that refuses to abandon its post, even in the face of decay. The birds and beasts represent idle fears and doubts that would undermine your vision; by not permitting them to rest upon the tomb of your old self, you establish a sacred boundary within. The harvest marks the moment your inner state has endured long enough to invite nourishment from heaven. To Neville, this is not about changing others but about aligning your consciousness with the end you desire. You are the rock, the sanctuary, where the rain of divine realization can fall. When you maintain that fidelity, the outer world gradually reforms to reflect the inner harvest you have already assumed in imagination and feeling.
Practice This Now
Impose the feeling of safety and completion: assume you have already harvested the complete seven aspects of your life. Sit quietly, visualize Rizpah guarding the inner hill, and feel the heavenly rain nourish your vision; repeat daily for several minutes, letting that end-state saturate your mind.
