Inner Siege, Gathered Hearts

Neville's Inner Vision

All the 'gathering of troops' is the gathering of thoughts and beliefs within you. The 'daughter of troops' is your own consciousness; the siege is the mental pressure you accept as real. The 'judge of Israel' is the highest part of you, the I AM, the inner governor. When you hear 'they shall smite the judge with a rod upon the cheek,' you are hearing your own fear striking the quiet judge. But you can interpret this as the old state pressed into new form by your attention. The moment you refuse to believe the scene as final and instead assume that the I AM is unscathed, you reverse the sense. You gather yourself not to be crushed by external opinions but to claim the inner sovereignty. Your trials become signals to align with a more complete consciousness. The siege dissolves as you dwell in the awareness that you are not the siege, you are the seer of it, and your perception names the true reality: feeling the presence of the I AM now.
