Inner Hardening and Divine Alignment

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner reading, the 'enemies' are not distant foes but fixed states of mind within me. The hardening of their hearts is the vivid symbol of a belief that refuses softness, sight, or yielding to imagination. When I identify with the I AM—the sole awareness that governs all—the scene reveals how such fixed thought-patterns arise and then act as if they possess power to attack my inner sanctuary. The verse shows that events unfold to reflect the conviction of the mind; thus the 'destroying' is the natural dissolution of stubborn beliefs and habits. To apply Neville's law of imagination, I shift my inner posture, affirming that the I AM governs all scenes and that no external resistance could prevail against such alignment. Any sense of lack or lack of favor dissolves when I recognize that alignment with divine consciousness is my true power. The outward victory follows the inward transformation, and peace replaces perceived opposition.
