The Inner Angel Blocking Your Path

Neville's Inner Vision

Numbers 22:22 speaks of an action that seems straightforward yet meets a counterforce born of the inner state. God's anger is the inner response of your own I AM when your outward plan moves out of harmony with the divine pattern you inwardly accept. The angel of the LORD standing in the way is not a separate wrathful being, but the still, exacting intervention of your higher consciousness—your inner law—blocking activity until your motive and intention are re-synchronized with divine purpose. Balaam's ride and his two servants symbolize your body and habitual thoughts; the donkey carrying the load becomes the instrument through which your vision is tested. Observe that the interruption occurs precisely where you think you must push forward; this is Providence as inner balancing, not punishment. When you accept that every stopping of the outward motion is a correction by the I AM, you dissolve the seeming obstacle and return to the state of alignment that makes your desires real through imagination.
