Ascent From Rebellion: Deuteronomy 1:26

Neville's Inner Vision

On the inner level, the chapter speaks of a people who would not ascend to the promised land because consciousness resisted the immediate command of the I AM. In Neville's language, the land is your present possibility, the ascent is the shift to a higher state of awareness, and the commandment is your inner directive that you already possess the power to fulfill. Rebellion is not merely a historical act but a current stance of fear or habit that holds you in the old state. When you refuse to go up, you are choosing to identify with limitation rather than with the interpretation of your I AM as creative force. The moment you decide that you already stand in the land, the commandment ceases to be external decree and becomes your inner conviction. Your attention, feeling, and belief are the ascent ladder; by assuming the state of having what you seek and feeling its reality now, you dissolve the old habit of resistance and awaken to completion within you. Your inner throne, not a distant nation, begins to rule when you align with the I AM and step into the perceived promise.
