Inner Choice Of Zechariah 11:9

Neville's Inner Vision

When Zechariah says, I will not feed you, the I AM within you is declaring a famine of an old pattern. Feed is not food but attention; to feed the dying parts is to give life to fear, guilt, and limitation. The cutting off and the instruction that what dies should die are inner directives, not cruelty but a shift in state. In this drama, the line about the rest eating one another reveals what happens when you starve old identities: the form of your thoughts cannibalizes itself, collapsing under neglect. The inward ruler says, you are not what you once believed; you are the I AM that can withhold belief to reveal a higher order. By detaching nourishment from the old, you render it inert, and you awaken to a new self that is sustained by faith, possibility, and the imagined already-fulfilled state. The verse thus becomes a manual: to revise by deciding what to feed, to refuse the old, and to dwell in the consciousness that makes the new form real.
