Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville idiom, the scene is not about geography but about your inner state. Judges 17:10-11 becomes a consciousness diagram: a segment of you invites a higher self to dwell, to stand as father and priest within your life. The money and garment are symbols of the forms of supply your I AM affords to sustain this sacred function. When the Levite consents, you are affirming a real communion between your inner ruler and the office of guidance. The Levite becoming as one of his sons expresses loyalty and closeness: the higher state is now kin to you, not distant. True worship, then, is the felt internal alignment where decisions, loyalties, and identity are governed by a single, central I AM. This is covenant loyalty: you invite the inner priest to reside in your house of thought, and the inner priest receives your invitation as real. With ongoing imaginative attention, this inner bond solidifies, shaping your days from within and confirming your world as a reflection of your inner state.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: sit in stillness and imagine you are Micah hosting your inner priest; invite him to dwell with you as father and guide. Feel the loyalty forming as real.
