Inner Counsel Before Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner life, the scene before us is a mirror of your states of consciousness. The 'men' are appetites and surface plans fed by habit, the 'mouth of the LORD' is the quiet inner voice of I AM-aware consciousness, and 'Joshua' is the will you trust to act in the world. By not consulting the LORD, you form a covenant with appearances—those seeming foods and bargains that promise safety, yet bind you to a future not governed by truth. The 'league' represents commitments made to external powers—desires, social scripts, or fears—without the inner Word to validate them. The 'princes of the congregation' are the collective beliefs that swear to these bindings. The remedy is not more rules, but a return to the one I AM within, where true guidance flows. When you revise the scene in light of inner counsel, the outward peace dissolves into a living harmony that reflects your alignment with truth. Your consciousness becomes the I AM, and every decision flows from that inward, authoritative source.
