Inner Judgment and Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

In the language of your inner life, the day of Benjamin is the hour when a fixed fear or hostile judgment seems to prevail. The twenty-five thousand fallen are the rigid beliefs and identifications that drew the sword against your wholeness—once valued as strength, now proven as contrasts that must dissolve. The six hundred who fled to the rock Rimmon are the thoughts that retreat into a fortress of memory, pretending you are nothing but a kept refuge, four months in darkness. Yet the story does not end there. Israel, which is your awakened I AM, gathers itself again and makes war on the old regime of fear, sweeping away the remnants with the edge of the sword of awareness, and burning the cities of limitation. The violence is not destruction of life but of the stale structures of judgment that kept consciousness in bondage; the fire is purification. When you see yourself as the one who creates, you will no longer defend the old self but rewrite it.
