Jeremiah 27:12 Inner Yoke

Neville's Inner Vision

I speak to you in this moment as your I AM, your awareness that can choose what you consent to within. The king Zedekiah represents a state of mind that would rather resist the pressure of an overpowering circumstance than acknowledge a deeper truth: life flows where you align your inner state with the situation. When the prophet tells him to bring his neck under the yoke of Babylon and serve him, he is not praising bondage; he is illustrating the power of inner alignment. In Neville's terms, the ‘yoke’ is the present condition you accept without interior struggle. To live is to refuse the dream of rebellion and instead imagine that you are already yoked to the circumstance by your own I AM—present, complete, awake. By serving the greater power in your life—your current belief, habit, or situation—you do not become its slave; you become the agent who reveals life within it. Your imagination must assent to the outer form as if it were the only order of reality, and through that acceptance, you unlock life, peace, and creative energy.
