Inner Flock and Judgment

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Zechariah passage, the outer scene is merely a mirror of inner states; the 'flock' stands for your thoughts and feelings, the 'slaughter' and 'possessors' for fears and habitual judgments that drain vitality. When it speaks of delivering people into their neighbor's hand, read it as the hand of your own altered attention—your mind's shifting alignments. The verse's harsher notes become a map for inner work: stop feeding on guilt and powerlessness and begin feeding your inner life from the one consciousness you call I AM. The justice promised is not punitive but a correction of identification, recognizing that true wealth does not come from external 'blessings' but from awareness of God within. By assuming a state of abundance and trust, you become the shepherd who nourishes every part of the mind, and the land of your life follows that inward order.
