Inner Dawn and the Princes Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To wake is to inhabit a state that already carries victory. Gideon returning before the sun is your mind waking to its I AM, the awareness that does not wait for tomorrow but acts in the now. The young man you catch is the living picture of your present beliefs—habits, judgments, and self images housed in the inner city of Succoth. When Gideon asks him, he is not gathering facts from an outer archive; he is qualifying the inner dialogue, naming the rulers and elders that govern your experience. The seventy-seven men symbolize the many habits and patterns you have accepted as real. By bringing them into your light and stating that they are seen and owned, you disempower them. The act of returning from battle before dawn shows that victory begins as an inner movement: you have already conquered the impulse to defend your old sense of limitation. Your task is to revise those thoughts by assuming a nobler story: that you stand in justice, discernment, and righteousness now. Declare within that these inner rulers answer to your awakened I AM and serve your higher purpose.
