Shammah's Lentil Field Stand

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the scene reveals that the real battle is not over there among Philistines but within the field you call yours. The lentil ground is your inner ground—small, delicate, and dearly held—where doubts come to separate you from your sense of wholeness. Shammah’s stand is your technique: remaining centered in the I AM despite the surge of fear, choosing to dwell in the assurance that you are the one who defends the ground of your consciousness. The Philistines are mere appearances; the true victory arises when you refuse to flee and maintain the state until the inner law, the LORD in consciousness, acts. The LORD wrought a great victory becomes your experience when the imagination refuses the old story and confirms the new state as already complete. In time, outer events mirror this inner decision, and you awaken to the truth that you never needed to beg for protection—the self, as awareness, guarantees it through persistent, joyous assumption.
