The Inner Gate of Calamity

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard fashion, Obadiah 1:13 becomes a map of inner life. 'Entering the gate' and 'laying hands on substance' symbolize trespassing into another's consciousness and a belief in scarcity. The I AM—your true awareness—is the sole gate that matters. When calamity appears in your world, inquire what state of mind you entertain about the situation: are you judging, coveting, or attempting control? To covet or exploit reveals a scarcity within your own heart; your imagination, however, is the real operator. By aligning with the I AM, you affirm abundance and guard the gate of perception, allowing events to unfold as expressions of inner harmony. The practice is to revise: I am the I AM who neither trespasses nor exploits; I am the gate-keeper and source of provision for all involved. If you dwell in this consciousness—feeling as if abundance flows through you to all—external calamities transform into demonstrations of unity and peace. The law of imagination converts lack into fullness when you remain faithful to the gate.
