Temptation, Wealth, and The I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Samson represents a mighty state of consciousness, a force that seems invulnerable when anchored in awareness. The Philistines are not distant enemies; they are the restless thoughts of lack, fear, and craving pressing at the door of your mind, offering silver to pry you loose from your inner center. Delilah is the whispering question within you: 'Where lies your great strength, and by what might you be bound?' The twelve hundred pieces of silver symbolize the value you place on external provision—security, status, and comfort—that tempts you to surrender power. When you imagine yourself bound by such rewards, you forget that strength is not hair or contract but the I AM that remains aware of all thoughts. The 'binding' is a shift in consciousness, a belief you can be controlled by appearances. To turn the tide, assume a new state: I am the aware I AM, complete, untouched by circumstance, and let life move within this steadiness. Imagination creates reality—dwell in the feeling of inherent power, and the outer fates bow to the inner state.
