Exhortation in the Synagogue

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's frame, the scene is not about an external ritual but a moment of inner alignment. The synagogue represents the sanctuary of your own consciousness, the Sabbath a pause in which the ordinary sense of time yields to the timeless I AM. When they sit to hear the law and the prophets read, you are hearing the laws and prophecies you have accepted into your own mind—the patterns of belief that rule your life and the promises you have imagined into form. The rulers’ invitation, 'if ye have any word of exhortation, say on,' is the inner call of awareness urging you to voice the truth that is already present in you. Your exhortation, then, is not a performance but a recognition of your end-state—the realization that you are the I AM expressing as life now. The community you sense is your own unity of consciousness, a chorus of your inner selves agreeing with the one Presence. When you respond from that state, you experience true worship: not outward ritual, but the felt certainty that all things move from your inner I AM.
