Ichabod Within: Inner Glory Restored

Neville's Inner Vision

Ichabod is not a mere historical label but a moment in your consciousness when you perceive the glory as having vanished. Israel stands for your state of awareness; the ark represents the presence of God within your I AM. When outward signs fall away and you feel bereft, you are being invited to re-enter, not to resign yourself to exile but to re-anchor in the inner witness. The verse points to a turning point: the sense of loss is the signal to revise your story, not the truth of your being. The I AM remains untouched, even as scenes of loss unfold around you, and the true glory can be restored by a deliberate shift in perception. By choosing to identify with your inner Presence rather than external appearances, you dissolve the sense of exile and prepare the way for a return to consciousness where the throne of God is again made visible within you.
