Inner Judgment, Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's idiom, the 'LORD' is the I AM within you, and the foreign 'bands' are inner disturbances—fear, doubt, longing—moving through your consciousness to purify it. Judah stands for your entire life or a particular state you call home. The destruction they bring is not punishment but the shedding of old patterns so a higher order can rise. The phrase 'according to the word of the LORD, spoken by his prophets' points to the inner decree and the guidance you hear within; when your attention aligns with that inner word, outer events assemble to prove it. Exile and return repeat as your inner circle of awareness expands—brought about by disruption, corrected by inner insight, and crowned by rebirth into a more aware state. View every seeming upheaval as an invitation to awaken the I AM in you and to accept the new consciousness already ordained by your inner guides.
