Inner Temptation and Discernment

Neville's Inner Vision

Samson in the tale stands for the waking power of your consciousness. When he goes down to Timnath and looks upon a Philistine woman, the scene is not about marriage but about a state of perception meeting a surface lure. The Philistines symbolize the foreign powers of the world that seem to draft your life by appetite rather than by inner law. The descent to Timnath marks a moment when attention drifts from the inner standard; sight becomes a test of obedience and integrity. The question for you is: which reality do you serve - the inner I AM or the outward impulse? The answer lies in discernment: you do not suppress the impulse; you reframe it with the assumption that your true identity is the I AM and that every appearance must bow to that truth. By choosing the inner allegiance, purity remains intact and wisdom guides perception; the scene then reflects your inner decree as real.
