31And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now ye have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, this moment shows that God’s presence is a state of consciousness you enter when the inner covenant is kept in heart. Perceiving the LORD among them arises as a felt reality when unity, obedience to the inner law, and fidelity to the I AM harmonize their minds. The 'hand of the LORD' becomes a metaphor for limitation and fear that dissolves when the group holds to the truth within. The deliverance they witness is not produced by external acts alone but by a shift of awareness—once the inner state remains aligned, the outer circumstance reflects that light. Therefore, when you treat the LORD as present in you now, you enact salvation as a present experience. The verse invites you to inhabit the I AM so completely that separation vanishes and every challenge is seen as a dream that yields to consciousness.
