Tola's Quiet Rule Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the story as a map of your own consciousness. The phrase 'he judged Israel twenty and three years' points to a long, steady administration by a state of awareness—a quality of discernment—that keeps your inner Israel in order. Tola represents that ruling thought and feeling: a habit of justice, prudence, and governance. When he dies and is buried in Shamir, imagine that old ruling idea passing away and dissolving into the soil of your imagination. This burial is not defeat; it is the return of energy to your I AM, freed to be reimagined anew. Your imagination is the sovereign governor; when you choose to stop clinging to the old pattern and to feel the reality of a higher, wiser ruling, you create space for a new form to arise. The promise remains: the inner governance of right discernment can endure for you as a present experience, not a distant memory, as you inhabit the I AM and revise from within.
