Look On Me, Do Likewise

Neville's Inner Vision

Your mind is the camp, not a battlefield. Gideon’s invitation to look on me and do likewise is a call to align your outer acts with your inner state. The trumpet you hear is the loud suggestion of your I AM, and when you blow, you declare not a weapon in a field but a conviction in consciousness: the sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. When you imitate the leader outwardly, you’re not emulating him so much as harmonizing your inner faculties—imagination, faith, persistence—into a single rhythm. The task is unity, not ritual; obedience is trust in your own inner governor. Providence responds as you dwell in the feeling that the desire is already fulfilled, that the enemy camp of doubt dissolves as you move in concert with your assumption. The action described is a mental rehearsal: every external move mirrors an inner movement. As you repeat the posture of confidence, your awareness gathers strength, and the miraculous becomes a natural projection of your inner life. The wind of grace appears when your assumptions stay steady and your attention rests on the I Am behind every act.
