Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Ezra 10:19 describes people acknowledging fault by renouncing an external tie and offering a ram to make amends. It speaks of accountability and moving toward reconciliation.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner drama of consciousness, the verse reveals the act of disciplining your thoughts. The 'wives' symbolize attachments and identifications you have allowed to govern your inner life. To 'put away' them is to decide, in imagination, that those former images no longer rule you. The 'ram of the flock' stands as a substitute image—a vivid feeling of repentance made real within awareness. When you offer this ram, you are not seeking forgiveness from an external judge; you are resigning the belief in separation and affirming the I AM as the sole reality. A renewed covenant arises from this inner surrender, a reconciliation between you and your world grounded in the certainty that you are not guilty but already whole. Practice this now: dwell in the present promise of freedom and let the new state shape your next scene, until your inner life reflects the unity of all being.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and revise the scene until you feel the release as real. Assume the state of the reconciled self and feel the I AM accepting you as whole in this moment.
