Inner Judgment: Three and Four

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the phrase as a mirror for your own consciousness. The 'three...four' is not a history lesson but a symbol of a complete pattern you have rehearsed in your mind—a habit of separateness that keeps you from feeling your unity with all life. Gaza, in this reading, stands for a boundary you have drawn in your inner landscape, a region where you cling to judgments about others or about yourself. The act of delivering captives to Edom is the mind’s habit of projecting guilt and identifying with the condemned state, thereby locking it in. The message is not punishment from without but a call to revise your state of being. The door opens when you realize the LORD, the I AM, is your awareness in which every state arises and passes away. You can refuse to identify with the reflected guilt and, in imagination, dwell in the healed, present self. Persist in this felt revision and exile dissolves, returning you to the wholeness that has always been your natural state.
