Shelter For Inner Outcasts

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, Moab stands as a neighboring state in my consciousness—a part of me I may have neglected or feared. 'Let mine outcasts dwell with thee' becomes a command to invite every fragment of myself under the shelter of the I AM, the ever-present awareness that never leaves. The spoiler and extortioner are my fears, judgments, and stubborn habits; when I treat them as tenants inside a covert of mercy—not cast out, but sheltered—I end their tyranny. The line 'the extortioner is at an end, the spoiler ceaseth, the oppressors are consumed' becomes a statement of inner reality, not a prophecy about lands. As I hold my outcasts in the privacy of consciousness, I realize they are simply unknown aspects asking to be known and loved. The shelter is not a place outside me but the I AM-awareness that dwells in me now. By feeling this truth—imagining it, feeling it, and revising any sense of separation—the old oppressions lose their power and dissolve into quiet light. The end of oppression is the end of inner resistance.
