The Inner End Of Threats

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the LORD is the I AM behind every perception—the all-knowing awareness you call your self. When Nahum asks, 'What do ye imagine against the LORD?', he invites you to inspect the pictures you carry about power and opposition. The imagined foe is a state of consciousness, not a past event or a person in time. The 'utter end' promised is the moment you consent to your I AM as the ruling presence, dissolving the habit of fear and struggle. The lines that speak of thorny bundles and drunkenness describe thoughts tangled into fear and fog that pretend to threaten your well-being. They are only mental formations, and consciousness can devour them like dry stubble when it recognizes its own nature as the eternal present. Thus affliction does not return because it never had real substance in the I AM you are. Your inner king is not overcome by circumstance; it asserts itself, and what once seemed to endure vanishes into light. By abiding in awareness rather than the problem, you experience the promise of Nahum as your immediate reality.
