Inner Shaving of Authority

Neville's Inner Vision

Your Isaiah 7:20 is not a historical haircut but a vivid inner image. The head, beard, and hair of the feet symbolize outward identity, pride, and social role. The hired razor, coming from beyond the river by the king of Assyria, represents a persuasive circumstance or fear that seems to cut away at you from without. In Neville’s psychology, God is the I AM within you; this shaving is the elimination of a false sense of separation, performed by the very awareness you are. When you treat the external event as the instrument of your inner shift, you no longer resist the pruning but welcome it as renewal. The shaving reveals a cleaner sense of self, unbound by fear, vanity, or attachment to role. The call is to recognize what you have mistaken for reality as only a projection and to revise by assuming the state of freedom now, in I AM, so that your life reflects the newly shaved, clearer consciousness.
