Silence the Sword Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the sword is not a weapon outside but a believer’s active thought, a fiery impulse in consciousness demanding action. In this moment, the LORD's sword is the edge of attention itself — your sense of separation wrestling with what is. The cry how long will it be ere thou be quiet is the inner refusal to yield to the still, creative I AM. When you are called to sheath, you do not fight an outer foe but surrender the compulsion to solve everything by force. Imagine the scene as your inner state; the scabbard is the womb of your awareness centered in I AM. Rest means you cease the ongoing narration and let the moment settle into the space of your own consciousness. The decree to stop produces peace; the inner sword becomes a harmless vision when fear yields to love. In that stillness, your imagination is the sole instrument by which reality forms. Accepting quiet, you awaken to the truth that you are the I AM, and conditions align to reflect your peaceful and assured state.
