The Inner Left-Handed Deliverer

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the inner parable: Ehud is the deliverer you awaken when you cry to the LORD—the I AM within you. The left-handedness is no defect; it is the counterpoint of your ordinary self, the unexpected channel through which God moves. The two-edged dagger is your thought and feeling, unified by imagination, cutting through the false sense of bondage. You gird it under your raiment of identity, on your right thigh, not to show others but to remind yourself that power rests in your concealed belief. When your cry arises from the I AM, the inner deliverer steps forth and the state of consciousness shifts; what was bondage becomes release, not by force from without, but by the conversion of your sense of self. The enemy—Eglon—stands for stale habit; your own awareness dissolves it as you assume the reality of your freedom. This is how God answers: by raising a deliverer from within, whenever you choose to imagine it real.
