From Luxury to Divine Decree

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's teaching, the city and its palaces are inner states of consciousness—the patterns of thought that keep you aligned with power, comfort, and external approval. The banquet of them that stretched themselves is the indulgent dream of egoic security. When the Lord God swears by Himself, it is the I AM within you declaring the end of that old identity: I abhor the excellency of Jacob and hate his palaces. The exile that follows is not a future punishment but a turning inside, a collapse of the outward structure that has defined you. To experience this is to realize that what you call your world is a projection of your inner life. By refusing that old image and choosing a new assumption—your true being as the witnessing I AM—you allow the city to be delivered into the freedom of pure awareness. Your wealth becomes inner harmony, your exile, the return to wholeness.
