Blessings Reversed: Deuteronomy 23:4-5

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, this text is a testament to the primacy of inner consciousness. The outer enemy and the ‘curse’ are mere images within the mind, while the true power lies in the I AM—the unchanging awareness within you. When you come forth from any sense of bondage (Egypt), you may meet terms of lack or attack in the world, but God’s love overrides them. Balaam’s weapon is powerless against the inward decision of the self that knows it is loved. Therefore, the seemingly adverse circumstances reveal a law: your state of consciousness can convert what appears as a curse into a blessing by aligning with the divine in you. If you accept and dwell in the fact that you are loved by the Lord, you cue a reversal in perception that torna external threat into inward grace. The practice is to hold to the truth of your beloved state and let that love rearrange your experience into blessing.
