One Mind, One City Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 20:11 is not about soldiers alone; it is an image of your inner state when every part of you—memory, desire, will, imagination—rallies to a single purpose. In the Neville idiom, the city is your mind, and all the men of Israel are the facets of consciousness, suddenly consenting to a shared vision. When you knit together as one man, you do not force an external battle; you awaken the feeling that there is only one I AM directing the scene. The gate, the city, the plan—these are inner movements of imagination: attention, faith, courage—all aligned and moving as one toward the fulfillment you have accepted inwardly. The moment you assume unity, you become the master of your inner weather; you stop fragmenting. The subconscious responds to the unity of your desire, and events rearrange to reflect that concord. Your work is to dwell in the consciousness that there is no division, only a single, harmonious intention behind every thought.
