Inner Quiet Amid Firebrands

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as a map of your inner weather. The 'two tails of these smoking firebrands' are not armies at your door but the restless thoughts that flare when you imagine a future fear. Rezin with Syria and the son of Remaliah symbolize the inner voices of anger, threat, and counsel that tell you you must tremble. Yet the command to 'take heed, and be quiet; fear not' is a directive to your consciousness to turn away from outward capital and to rest in the I AM, the steadfast awareness that you are. When you accept these fiery images as mere mental pictures, their power dissolves; they lose the 'fire' that would burn your peace. You decide in that moment to inhabit a new mood: confident, unperturbed, complete. In that interior posture, the outer warnings lose their traction, because your world rearranges to reflect your inner reality. Your imagination is the architect of experience, not the external peril; by choosing stillness, you create a safer, more true present.
