Inner Shepherd Of Peace

Neville's Inner Vision

Micah 5:4-5, in Neville's key, is not about a distant king but about your inner governor. The 'he shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD' points to a state of consciousness in which you are fed by the LORD, i.e., by your I AM, your awareness. When you dwell in that state, your experiences abide in harmony; you stop feeding fear and begin feeding peace. The 'Assyrian' is the noise of outer troubles, yet the verse promises a counter-force born within: seven shepherds and eight principal men—faculties of discernment, leadership, order—rising to maintain the peace you now claim. The verse thus unfolds as a present tense promise: a ruler of your inner kingdom who makes the land (your life) safe by aligning all parts with the divine. Peace comes not from politics but from the perception that you are governed by the I AM, the ever-present strength. Let this inner governor be your continual observation: you are free, you are peaceful, you are whole.
