Inner Non-Delivery of the Slayer

Neville's Inner Vision

To Joshua 20:5, I answer that the 'avenger of blood' is not an external foe but the pursuing thought of retaliation within your own consciousness. The 'slayer' is a past act born in ignorance, a self you once believed you were; being unwitting means you acted without awareness, without malice. The directive 'they shall not deliver him' becomes a sign that your inner law can restrain the dream of punishment when you do not nurture hate for the past. 'Hated him not beforetime' invites you to release lingering resentment and to understand that no lasting harm exists in the original act when seen through the I AM. In Neville’s terms, God is the I AM within you; your imagination is the instrument by which the interior world shapes exterior experience. When you accept responsibility without judgment and revise the scene with a sense of innocence, you dissolve the 'pursuit' and experience a state of justice now. The moment you stop feeding the old slander, the old threat collapses, and you awaken into freedom.
