Inner Guidance for Judges 13:8

Neville's Inner Vision

Manoah’s act of intreating the LORD is not a plea to an external order, but a turning of attention within to the living presence that knows what to do. The man of God represents the inner teacher, the word made flesh in your own awareness. When Manoah asks how to deal with the child to be born, he is naming a faith that the future fruit depends on the current state of consciousness. In Neville’s terms, the request is an act of the I AM asking the I AM for the next instruction. The prayer becomes a revision of inner images: you are already the parent of the promise; the guidance you seek is already present, waiting as a consciousness that can be lived from now. The returned messenger is your renewed inner image speaking with authority, and the path unfolds as you consent to its suggestions. Stand quietly in the awareness that you are that very guide, and let the feeling of inevitability rise. Act from end realized, and the form of the promised birth will follow.
