Rash Oath Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Judges 21:1 offers a parable of consciousness rather than geography. The men of Israel swore in Mizpeh that none among them would give his daughter to Benjamin in marriage. This oath is a psychic stance: a rigid decision to exclude a part of self in the name of loyalty and righteousness. In Neville’s view, God is I AM—awareness that cannot be divided—and every act of exclusion is but a thought silencing the living God within. When you fix a split, you bind yourself to a small circle of identity, and unity with your whole being becomes impossible. The healing is to revise that assumption: choose to include Benjamin, to see all parts as members of the one body, to let your inner tribe marry all aspects of your life. Feel the reality that you are indeed the one consciousness that knows itself as all, and make the inner vow to honor every facet. The moment this revision is felt, the external 'covenant' of separation loses its power, and justice and harmony move within you.
