Bethel's Silence, Inner Prophecy

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the scene, Amaziah is not merely a priest but the voice of your present thought, resistant to the new possibility arising in consciousness. Amos is the I AM within you, the awakening witness whose words declare what is true when you refuse the old conditions. The claim that the land cannot bear his words is your mind's fear that a new realization cannot hold, that the old identity cannot sustain what is coming. Bethel—the king's chapel and court—signifies the throne of the familiar self, the structures you have trusted to define you. Amaziah's directive to go to Judah and prophesy there represents the impulse to relocate revelation away from the seat of power, to quiet the inner voice by removing it from the field where you most identify. Yet prophecy does not vanish by relocation; it returns in your awareness as you refuse to abandon the vision. The exile and return promise you that, by embracing the inward truth now, you return to the land of fullness. Your task is to remain with the vision, revise through feeling-it-real, and let the I AM govern the land you inhabit.
