Inner Trust Amid Family Shadows

Neville's Inner Vision

In Micah 7:5-6 the outer world mirrors the inner weather of consciousness. The warning not to trust a friend or a guide is not a command to cynically reject help, but a reminder to observe the state you occupy. If your awareness is tense with fear, the appearance of betrayal becomes what you attract; the 'enemies' are the movements of your own thoughts turned outward, the intimate voices that mirror unresolved statements about yourself. The father, the mother, the daughter—all names representing patterns of authority within your inner kingdom—are not separate people but projections of your prevailing state. When you feel betrayed, you are being asked to revise the assumption that you are at the mercy of change. The I AM, your eternal awareness, remains unchanged; your imagination is the tool by which you rewrite conditions. When you stop seeking protection from others and identify with the stable I AM behind all appearances, trust becomes a fact of your inner life rather than a condition imposed by others.
