Inner Covenant Practice: Numbers 32:23-24

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within you, the tale in Numbers 32:23-24 is a gentle summons: you cannot deny the decree you have already spoken in the temple of your own consciousness. The sin spoken of is not a judgment from without, but a misalignment within your state of being. If you refuse to act in accord with your own word, you interrupt the current of life flowing from awareness. 'Build you cities for your little ones, and folds for your sheep' shows the inner architecture you erect for the coming days: mental cities of security, folds for your needs, sustained by the consistency of your spoken intention. And 'do that which hath proceeded out of your mouth' is a call to coherence: your utterance becomes your reality when it dwells as an inner conviction, a seed planted in imagination that later flowers in form. When you keep faith with that inner decree, your outward conditions align with your inner state and truth is lived. Remember: imagination is God in action; the outer is but the image of the inner. The remedy is revision—assume the end and feel it real until the inner state and the outer life become one.
