Inner Rest Before Battle

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the 'new wife' as a fresh state of consciousness opened in you. She is not a person to be managed but a quality of awareness seeking your honoring attention. The command to stay home for a year is not a limitation but a discipline of consciousness—withdraw from outer battles long enough for this inner marriage to mature. War in your world is any urge to prove yourself, to chase results, or to defend an old identity. Restlessness is the signal that you have not yet shared your life with the new I AM. When you imagine yourself at home with this inner wife, you cultivate tenderness, listening, and fidelity to the covenant of the divine I AM. The year becomes a gestation, a quiet alchemy by which visions of harmony, mercy, and loyal peace take root and ripen until you act from peace rather than pressure. Your true task is to feel the marriage already complete and to let that feeling govern every choice. In that inner posture, the I AM and the new consciousness bless every moment you breathe.
