Spirit vs Flesh: Inner War

Neville's Inner Vision

To those listening within, Galatians 4:29 is not a distant history but a map of your mind. The flesh-born is the old, mechanical self—habits, fears, and judgments tied to the seen world. The Spirit-born is the new creation within you, the awareness of I AM, the living possibility that you are more than your past. The verse says the persecutor belongs to the former state, and that conflict remains “even so it is now” because you still identify with the old self while you attend to a higher center of consciousness. Yet the peace you seek is not outside but inside, as a revision of your sense of self. When you refuse to argue with the persecutor and instead dwell in the feeling of your new state—the Spirit-born you—this inner drama dissolves. The Spirit is not battling you; you are learning to recognize that you are already Spirit in disguise. Your work is to wear the I AM as your permanent center and let it govern all reactions.
