Inner Priest Of Judges 17:10

Neville's Inner Vision

See this story as a map of your inner life. Micah is not a person but a mind that tries to secure spirituality by making a bargain with a priestly function. The wages, the suit of apparel, the victuals are not external pay; they are symbols of the conditions you accept as proof that you are supported by God. The Levite, stepping into the house, represents a state of consciousness that assumes a role within your sense of self. When you identify with that role—when the mind says, 'I will dwell with you as priest if you are paid'—you have identified the inner function with form and supply. In Neville's terms, God is I AM, awareness itself; true worship is not a price paid to a religious office but the state in which you know yourself as complete. The remedy is to revise the assumption until you feel the I AM dwelling with you as your own priest, not as a hired servant. When you align with the inner Lord, the outer terms fall away, and work, vocation, law become expressions of inner order. You awaken to the fact that you never hired God—you awakened to your own divine being.
