Inner Ambush, Outer Justice

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse Judges 20:29 speaks of Israel setting liers in wait around Gibeah. In Neville's terms the event is not about geography but about states of consciousness. 'Israel' is the collective I AM in you that arranges its attention, and the 'liars in wait' are the habitual thoughts and reactive moods that lie in the outer chambers of your awareness, waiting to pounce when you are least attentive. The movement around Gibeah is the inner circle of your stillness and the hidden patterns that keep you attached to a story of harm or justice. The act of setting ambush is a symbolic method by which you discover what you have already decided in the unseen; you call forth a version of yourself that seeks to 'catch' the old self in a moment of judgment. To awaken, you must reverse the stance: assume the I AM as the steadfast observer, and let the old pattern expose itself to your new state of consciousness, then revise it with a calm, decisive feeling of re-creating your reality.
