Belial and the Inner Purge

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, Belial stands not as a foreign enemy but as a belief of separation that has taken possession of your inner city. The cry to deliver the men is the impulse to cast out a thought that says 'I am not whole' or 'some part of me is criminal.' The people of Israel become your higher awareness—the I AM—asking for the removal of a false sense of evil from your consciousness. Yet the children of Benjamin resisting the voice of their brethren mirrors the stubborn habit in you that refuses to surrender a conviction, a pattern you justify as part of the self. The chapter reveals a tension: the demand for righteousness on one hand, and the friction of ego on the other. The true purification in Neville's view is not external punishment but inner alignment: you assume the state that already sees creation as one, where Belial dissolves when you dwell in the I AM. When you stop labeling thoughts as Belial and inhabit the consciousness of unity, evil recedes and your inner Israel is restored to harmony.
