Inner Peace Beyond Fear

Neville's Inner Vision

In the soul’s theatre, the Assyrian is not a foreign army but a thought-form of fear pressing upon your mind. The rod that smites and the staff that lifts against you are merely sensations in your consciousness, calling you to wake. Yet the verse speaks of a 'very little while'—that short interval in which you cease to identify with the fear, and your true state, Zion, asserts itself. When you assume the role of the I AM that is always awake, you watch the scene as witness rather than victim. You revise the story: 'I am not afraid; I am the one who commands the dream.' As you hold this revised mood, the indignation loses its grip and falls away, for your inner light dissolves the shadow; anger becomes instruction, and destruction becomes direction. Providence guides you by establishing a steady inner reference point—peace. Thus you awaken to the revelation that the outer threat never threatens the real you; it reveals the texture of your consciousness and yields to the Shalom that already resides within.
