Claiming Your Inner Cities

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the memory of the I AM, every city named in this verse is a state of consciousness you visit in your night of imagination. The plain, Gilead, and Bashan are not distant lands but zones of feeling and choice within you. The 'cities of the plain' speak of your base, automatic reactions; the balm of Gilead hints at states you invoke for wholeness; Bashan signifies strength you claim in the imagination; Salcah and Edrei mark the frontier fortresses—habits and conclusions you still inhabit until you decide to reign. The 'kingdom of Og' represents the old ego resisting the new order of God within. Yet Moses’ people go forth to conquer these inner cities; so do you when you accept that you are the I AM and that imagination fashions your world. Practice a single act of dominion: assume these cities are under your rule, and feel the triumph of the undivided self over every wall. Your present experience is not the outside; it is your inward geography reclaimed by consciousness.
