Mercy Mind in Zechariah 7:10

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the verse speaks not of external laws but of the inner ecology of consciousness. The widow, the fatherless, the stranger, the poor are symbolic states within you—channels of vulnerability that invite your care. Oppression is a mis alignment of your inner situation, a projection of a consciousness that believes scarcity or separation; to oppress them is to imprison a part of your own I AM. Likewise, 'imagining evil against your brother' reveals a mind festering with hostile images, which blocks the light of awareness. The remedy is simple: assume a state of protection and abundance; in your imagination, become the I AM who guards and provides for every state of being within you. As you persist in the feeling of that assumption, the outer world aligns with your inner decision. The verse asks you to place justice and mercy at the center of your inner life, so that your acts toward others reflect that I AM. In this way, Zechariah's ancient command becomes a living practice of transformation: you become the protector and the radiance that dissolves fear.
