Inner Rulers, Outer Paths

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's ear, Isaiah's line is not a social indictment but a portrait of your inner republic. 'My people' is your I AM addressing the kingdom of your mind. The 'children' who oppress are the childish beliefs that tell you you are small, dependent, and pressed by circumstance. The 'women' who rule over them are a potent, governing energy—perhaps intuition or emotion—that has become dominant but misdirected, impeding your clear direction. When such inner rulers lead thee, you read the world through an errant lens and lose the straight path—the 'way of thy paths' is your habitual pattern of living. The judgment spoken is a reminder that the outer effects mirror your internal state. The remedy is simple and intimate: assume the state of the I AM as the sole ruler of your inner estate. In that assumed state, childish fears bow to a steady, intelligent governance; the ruling energy aligns with divine order, and the path opens straight and true. Remember that imagination creates reality; what you picture inwardly becomes outward life. Revision of your inner rulers returns you to the natural order where righteousness and discernment prevail and truth and faithfulness return to govern your days.
