Inner Deliverance of Judges 10:8

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse I hear a timeless whisper: oppression is not a future mark but a page of consciousness. Israel, the I AM in you, seems subdued by a belief that life is a struggle on the far bank of Jordan, in the land of the Amorites called Gilead. The eighteen years are not a clock but the stubborn habit of a mind identified with limitation. The oppression arises when you forget that awareness itself is the mover, that imagination precedes sight, and that all that vexes you dwells in a state you have yet to assume. To read the text with Goddard’s eye is to see that crossing Jordan represents stepping into a new mental terrain where you do not consent to fear. The deliverance is immediate in consciousness if you revise the scene: I am the I AM, the only governor of my world, and this moment I claim freedom from every belief in lack, delay, or pain. Let the Amorite wind dissolve in the light of aware being.
