Inner Camps, One Covenant

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 10:17 presents no battlefield but a tableau of two camps within your own mind. The Ammonites encamped in Gilead signify a fixed thought-form, a habitual stance that feels separate, estranged from the divine Presence. The Israelites gathering in Mizpeh embody a rising consciousness loyal to the I AM, to unity and guidance. In this light, places are dispositions and events are movements of awareness. The outer geography of Gilead and Mizpeh becomes the inner geography of belief: you are either clinging to a protecting fear or affirming a covenant loyalty to the Presence that never leaves you. The Presence of God is not out there among armed hosts; it is the I AM within, the still, knowing mind that witnesses and prevails. By choosing Mizpeh—the inner city of counsel and unity—you revise the Ammonite impression from force to faith, from separation to oneness. When you affirm, 'I am One with the Divine,' you dissolve the sense of two camps and let the inner covenant govern. The result is a harmonized consciousness here and now, a life that proves your inner alignment.
