Inner Vengeance, Outer Echoes

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Edom as the image of the self’s lingering grievance, the inner Edom that keeps score and gathers strength by dwelling on injury. In the Ezekiel oracle, the house of Judah is the center of awareness within you; Edom’s vengeance is the storm of grievance that rises when you identify with hurt and grant it authority to color your life. God’s stretching out His hand and His desolation are not external armies but the law of consciousness turning from fixed beliefs. To clear Teman and Dedan is to clear your mental landscape of fear-made images, so no beast remains to feed on hurt. The line 'I will lay my vengeance... by the hand of my people Israel' signals the power of awareness—the I AM within you—whose intent purges what is false and reveals true justice. The anger and fury mentioned are movements of thought that, once faced, show you a choice: stay in grievance or claim sovereignty and transform the scene by the power of attention and feeling.
