Ascending the Inner Hill

Neville's Inner Vision

From the verse the people acknowledge a misalignment with the LORD and commit to move in obedience. In Neville’s reading, repentance is not guilt but a turning of attention, a decision to align the self with the divine I AM. The statement we have sinned becomes a releasing of former limits and a passing into a state of readiness. To gird the weapons of war is to arm the mind with faith, imagination, discipline, and a concrete intention to act in harmony with the command you accept. Going up the hill signifies rising to a higher state of consciousness where the imagined act precedes outward results. The inner vow thus matters more than the outward battle: once you assume the victorious posture in awareness, your outer course follows as if drawn by an inner law. The moment you sincerely accept the command and align with the Lord within, you no longer fight fear but move in harmony with your true nature, trusting that the ascent is already accomplished in your consciousness.
