Inner Praise and Imaginative Sword

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the 'high praises' are the elevated state of consciousness you dwell in; the 'two-edged sword' is your discernment and creative imagination, a instrument in your mind's hand. In this inner theatre, the nations and their kings symbolize limiting beliefs, fears, and external conditions—objects of your dream where you project your inner state. The act of 'executing vengeance … and judgments written' is the natural consequence of your faith-filled inner policy: once you, as I AM, presume the fulfilled state and maintain a mood of divine authority, the outer world rearranges to reflect that inner decree. The verse thus teaches a discipline: dwell in praise, assume the identity of one who already carries the sword, and use it to bind old habits (fetters) and chains of limitation. Every saint who is conscious of God as I AM has this honor, not as war against others, but as a rearrangement of the inner landscape so the outer scene aligns with righteousness and justice. It is not about punishment from God, but about binding the belief in separation and revealing unity under your inner judgment.
