Peaceful News on the Mountain

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the mountains as the elevated states of your consciousness, and the feet of the messenger as the very impressions of a new inner movement entering your mind. This herald of good tidings is the I AM, not coming from without but awakening within, announcing that peace is already present in your awareness. To publish peace is to stop narrating conflict and to declare, in feeling, that this peace is your current state. When you hear 'O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows,' translate it into inner discipline: honor the rituals you use to hold your mind in its serene posture—quiet reflection, steady breath, and affirmations of safety and harmony. The line about the wicked passing through thee speaks to the old, fear-based tendencies that no longer have entrance when you inhabit peace. They may knock, but they cannot pass when you have settled into your true I AM, which dissolves resistance and reveals a world that harmonizes with your assumed peace.
