Midian Within: Inner Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

Israel in this passage is your own mind waking to a darkness born of forgetfulness. The Midianites represent a recurring state of pressure you have allowed when you forget who you are. Seven years is the rhythm of a belief you keep cycling through: lack, fear, and withdrawal into dens and caves within your inner mountains. The outer oppression is not a distant foe but a figure in your inner drama, a thought-form you feed with attention. The remedy is to turn the scene by assumption: you are the I AM, the sole governor of your experience, and the power that moves Midian is the same power that awakens you. By imagining from the end—seeing yourself free, whole, and unthreatened—you rewrite the story from struggle to sovereignty. When you persist in feeling that you are already free, the inner dens collapse, and light enters your inner country, restoring delivery and order. Your present life becomes a field where the I AM operates, and yesterday's siege dissolves into quiet confidence.
