Gog And Magog Within

Neville's Inner Vision

I tell you, Gog and Magog are not distant tribes but the stubborn images that arise within your own mind when you identify with fear or pride. The four quarters of the earth are the four quarters of your consciousness, where thoughts shape an inner drama of conflict. When you give power to deceiving thoughts, you feel as if a battle is raging, yet the many figures are simply recurrent patterns, the sand of the sea of imagination. The 'deceiver' is the restless storyteller of your own mind; the moment you realize you are the I AM, the perceiver, you stand outside the play. You can revise the scene by returning to awareness itself, and the war dissolves into harmony. Your inner kingdom remains untouched by outer theater; perception changes as you shift from identification with thought to identification with awareness itself.
