Judges 19:27

Biblical Context

A husband rises in the morning, opens the doors, and steps out. He finds his concubine fallen at the door, her hands on the threshold.

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 19:27 is not about a neighborhood but about the inner boundary where a former self lies lifeless at the doorway. The lord is your waking consciousness, rising with the sun of awareness and opening the doors of the mind. Yet the concubine an ignored aspect of your nature has fallen to the threshold, symbolizing a state you have not carried into the new day. When you move through life while discarding a needed feeling or perception, that inner part dies at the threshold, and you experience suffering as the body of self slips into dormancy. The scene invites a revision: choose a new state now, imagine that the door is wide and welcoming, and feel Self crossing door of consciousness. Remember that every boundary is a mental boundary. If you tend the inner life, the outer world will reflect a living, united consciousness. Your imagination, not external events, writes the story; you are the I AM crossing and remaking the world.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In this moment, assume the state that I AM the consciousness that opens the door. Feel the door swing wide and the neglected part cross into a new day; dwell in the felt reality of that crossing.
