Inner Return By God's Will

Neville's Inner Vision

See this scene as a parable of your own mind. Paul is the I AM, the awake observer, stepping into the inner city of Ephesus—the chamber of your fixed beliefs. He leaves the company of yesterday’s conclusions and enters the synagogue of your thoughts to reason with the 'Jews'—the stubborn narratives you have accepted as reality. The decision not to tarry longer is not a denial but a turning of attention, a choosing of alignment with a greater feast—the inner Jerusalem where truth waits to be known. When he says, 'I must by all means keep this feast,' he is affirming that timing is sacred and inward, not dictated by exterior pressure. The blessing, 'but I will return again unto you, if God will,' is an inner covenant: a revision that your next visit to the place of belief will occur when God’s I AM wills it. The outward voyage mirrors the inward voyage: a moving away from a belief to a greater awareness, then a hopeful return. Your practice: treat any urge to linger in limitation as a cue to revise from 'this is all there is' to 'I will return, by God’s will.' Feel it real now.
