Inner Jerusalem Rebuilt

Neville's Inner Vision

To Daniel's words I whisper: you are not waiting for a distant time, you are awakening a state of consciousness. The 'going forth' to restore Jerusalem is the moment you decree in imagination that your inner city is rebuilt; you plant this decree and stand in it for seven weeks, then sixty-two more, until the new order feels inevitable. The 'Messiah the Prince' is your I AM, the stable reality of awareness that remains unaffected by outer troubles. When it says he shall be cut off, take it as the shedding of the old self, the part that says, 'I am not worthy,' so that the sanctuary within endures. The 'people of the prince' and the 'flood' are merely flights of fear that threaten your inner sanctuary; yet the end comes as your covenant matures. The week of covenant marks the continuity of your inner agreement; in the midst, the old sacrifices cease and the light grows bright in desolation, until the consummation—your complete alignment with the inner truth that has always been and will always be.
