Amos 1:4-5 Inner Fire Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos speaks of a fiery judgment upon Damascus, but the true fire is not a weapon from without; it is the light of awareness you awaken within. The house of Hazael, the palace of Benhadad, and the bar of Damascus are inner conditions you have believed as real—the stubborn identities, fears, and victories you defend as permanent. When the LORD declares, I will send a fire, it is your I AM who calls forth a transformative blaze, burning away outdated designs and leaving the inner city clear for a new reign. The exile foretold is the displacement of a former sense of self, not a hostage camp. As you dwell in the feeling of your desire already fulfilled, you break the barrier that keeps your plain (your ground of being) fixed in negation, and you become the one who holds the sceptre in your own inner Eden. Therefore, the Syria you once knew goes into captivity to Kir in your imagination, and a new harmony moves into your experience as you persist in that inner state.
