Wailing as Inner Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's psychology, the LORD stands for the I AM—the continuous awareness that you are. The verse says wailing shall be in all streets, a metaphor for how a consciousness scattered by fear and want fills the outer scene with complaint. When you identify with lack, you see neighbors crying, highways filled with 'alas.' Yet the invitation remains: acknowledge that you are the creator of this scene by lifting your state to one of unity with the I AM. The wail becomes a signpost, not a doom; it points you to revise the assumption, to clothe the mind in a new feeling-tone until the old story loses its grip. The husbandman and the skilled of lamentation—your inner faculties of cultivation—are not enemies; they are tools that can be redirected from mourning to harvest. By dwelling in the certainty of your oneness with God, by imagining the desired outcome as already real, you turn exile from a punitive fate into a return to your true kingdom—the place where joy, sufficiency, and wholeness are your present state.
