Inner Compass: Deuteronomy 1:33

Neville's Inner Vision

Israel’s journey is not a tale of distant lands but a message to your inner life. The going before you is the I AM, your constant awareness, moving ahead in consciousness to reveal the next feeling and image that point the way. The fire by night and the cloud by day are not external phenomena but states of mind—a fiery confidence that illumines your decisions, and a clear, orderly perception that smooths the path. When you acknowledge the I AM as your immediate Presence, you stop searching outside and begin revising the inside map. Your imagination becomes the caravan, and every step you feel corresponds to a move in consciousness that makes the terrain real. Fear dissolves as you align with the sense that the way has already been prepared by your own awareness. The sign of God's presence is experienced in your present sense of direction; no sign is needed beyond how you feel now. Practice gently: assume the scene as completed and feel the road unfolding from the center of your being.
