Facing the Inner Judgment

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the phrase 'set my face against them' reveals the inner law: when your I AM turns away from a state you have accepted, you invite outer conditions that reflect that inner stance. The 'fire' that devours is not punishment, but the natural consequence of resisting the life you intend. Ezekiel speaks of a consciousness clash: opposing awareness creates desolation in your inner land, the mind you call home. In Neville's terms, your outer situation mirrors your inner assumption. If you cling to a past belief about separation or lack, your inner weather will act as if that belief is true, and your environment will scorch with the heat of that choice. Yet desolation is not final; it is a signal to revise. Return to the I AM, reaffirm your unity with divine life, and feel the new state taking root. When awareness faces your desired state, the old soil dries and is replaced with fertile possibility. The land is renewed not by punishment but by your disciplined entering into a new assumption with feeling.
