Dissolving Moab in Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner hearing, Jeremiah becomes a practical invitation to the states of my own consciousness. Moab is not a distant nation but a stubborn mood I have celebrated—pride, grievance, separation—an inner 'nation' I kept as a center of attention. When it is said that there shall be no more praise of Moab, I am being invited to withdraw my affirmation, to stop honoring that inner identity as if it were real and permanent. The line about Heshbon—where evil was devised—speaks to the mind's tricks to sustain a belief; it is the mental weather that feeds the old self. The command to cut it off from being a nation is the moment of inner judgment by the I AM: a decisive revision that this particular belief no longer governs my life. The sword that pursues denotes the natural law of consequence, the tracking of thought into experience, until I replace that image with one of a single, undivided self. When I align with the I AM and refuse to feed the old Moab, its pursuit ceases and a new, peaceful sense of kingdom arises within me.
