The Inner Command Speaks

Neville's Inner Vision

Numbers 8:1 records the moment when the LORD spoke unto Moses, a clear word issued from the fountain of life. In Neville's terms, this is not history alone but a symbol of the I AM within you uttering a command to your current state of consciousness. Moses stands for a disciplined awareness ready to receive instruction, and the LORD represents the living presence that you are. The act of speaking—'saying'—is the inner word that aligns thoughts, feelings, and actions with a definite purpose. When you hear that word in inner hearing, you are being invited to loyalty to the Presence, to let a single, definite command govern your inner weather. The Presence of God is not distant; it is the awareness that remains when you stop negotiating with multiple selves. This quiet, authoritative voice grounds your inner world in a chosen direction, like a covenant etched on the heart. As you practice, you can lay hold of a concrete state of consciousness by assuming the desired outcome and feeling it real as if spoken into you now.
