Moab's Return Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

Moab's captivity is spoken of as something to be returned in the latter days, yet in the inner language of the mystic, Moab stands for a stubborn state of mind—pride, resistance, attachment—that keeps you from the I AM's fullness. The 'captivity' is not a place but a pattern of consciousness; the judgment declared is the release of that pattern when you no longer identify with it. When you are willing to imagine from the I AM that you are already free, the so-called latter days arrive now as a shift in feeling. Your inner weather changes as you assume the new state: you feel entire, you know yourself as one with the divine, and the old limitation loses its grip. The verse becomes a practical reminder: review how you have imprisoned yourself in a tale of lack, revise it by insisting 'I AM' the source of all supply, and feel that restoration as present reality. In this way, Moab's captivity is undone by the recognition that your consciousness creates your world, and restoration follows as sure as dawn.
