Inner Exile, Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s terms, the deportation is a picture of inner exile. The 'king of Assyria' represents a ruling thought that you are separated from the I AM. The lands—Halah, Habor by the river of Gozan, and the cities of the Medes—are the compartments of mind where attention has wandered. Yet these places are mere beliefs, not realities; your true kingdom remains the I AM who experiences all. By refusing identification with lack or fear and by assuming the consciousness of wholeness, you pull the dispersed tribes back into one Israel. The apparent exile becomes a revision of inner state, and the external circumstance rearranges to reflect the united inner life. Remember: imagination creates reality, and you, as awareness, dictate the movement from exile to return through inner assumption.
