Micah 2:8 Inner Dignity Reclaimed

Neville's Inner Vision

Micah’s words do not describe strangers only; they reveal a state of consciousness that has hardened into hostility. In Neville’s terms, the 'people' are inner moods; when one mood rises as an enemy, the atmosphere of your awareness becomes threatening. The act 'pull off the robe with the garment' is the inner habit of stripping away the outer sign of another’s worth—an image of judgment dressed as deed. The command is not to conquer an outer enemy but to awaken to the truth of your own I AM, the awareness that clothes life with meaning. When you revise this scene inwardly, you refuse to participate in the ritual of deprivation; you choose to clothe every passerby with dignity, recognizing the Imago Dei in all. As you hold this vision, your world shifts: the man pulled from his robe is no longer you, but an old image dissolving in light. The law of imagination confirms that your inner state births your outer experience; hence, reclaim your inner kingdom and let kindness govern.
