Inner Victory Over Adversaries

Neville's Inner Vision

All the so-called adversaries in this verse are not others but your own states of consciousness—the thoughts, fears, and judgments that have seemed to stand against you. In Neville's language, the declaration that they shall be as nothing is a call to identify with the I AM rather than with the problem. When you awaken to the awareness that you are the power that creates through imagination, the imagined foes lose their grip and fade into nonexistence. If you cling to images of conflict, you remain in a lower state; the minute you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled—that you are already victorious and protected—the inner climate changes. Providence and guidance are not external judges but the natural unfoldment of your inner state. The verse invites a practical revision: replace “they war against me” with “I AM the I AM, and all opposition dissolves.” Then feel the release, notice the mind rest, and walk forward as a buoyant consciousness whose reality is never in dispute. You are the sovereign observer; the world bows to your inner decree because imagination is the governing power.
