Inner Conquest Through Remembrance

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the enemy is not a nation but a thought that you cannot dispossess your present circumstance. The command not to fear invites you to dwell in the memory of what the Lord thy God did in days past—the theatre of Pharaoh and Egypt—as a demonstrated pattern of divine action in your now. In Neville's ear, these verses teach that you are not wandering among external powers, but that you inhabit a state of consciousness in which fear arises as a signal that belief has loosened its grip. The deliverance described is the shift of your inner stance: the I AM, your true awareness, steps forward and makes what previously seemed formidable dissolve, little by little, so you are not overwhelmed all at once. The hornet and the armies symbolize the subtle intrusions that vanish when you keep faith in presence: God is among you, mighty and terrible, guiding your feelings and impressions toward liberation. Trust that you are not conquering with force, but shifting the inner arrangement of your mind until the outer shows the stillness of victory.
