Inner Battle Psalms 108:11

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the cry I hear the inward question: Wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts? I do not answer it as a demand but as a revelation of consciousness. In the Neville key, God is not far away but the I AM that you are. The 'casting off' becomes a misperception of absence; the moment you believe you are deserted, you merely turn attention away from the presence that never leaves. When I assume the state that God is going forth with my hosts, I awaken the inner army—courage, faith, patience, intention—and feel their motion as a movement of God’s presence through me. The battle is outside only to the extent I forget what is already true inside: God and I are one; the Presence is with me in the hosts of my thoughts and aspirations. By revision, I make the claim real here and now: the I AM goes before me, the outcome is already established in consciousness, and the sense of separation dissolves into certainty that all power is within.
