Inner Parable of Cursing Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Numbers 23:7 presents Balaam's parable: Balak invites a curse upon Jacob, to defy Israel. The scene is not about a political plot half a world away, but about your inner kingdom under siege by fear and doubt. Balak represents the external voice that says 'you cannot prosper, you must be vanquished'; Aram and the mountains of the east are the soils of old memory and habitual thought that pull you toward limitation. Yet Balaam's parable is not a defeat; it is a script for the inner life: the I AM, the true you, cannot be touched by curses unless you allow them to dwell in your awareness. When the urge to curse arises—when you hear 'you are not enough'—you are being invited to test the covenant. The inner read is that your Israel state, your spiritual Kingdom, stands above all 'curse.' The practice is to revise the inner sentence from 'curse me' to 'you cannot curse what I am.' By feeling the truth of your I AM as your constant awareness, you rewrite the prophecy into blessing.
