Riders of Inner Authority

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's method, the mountains of Ezekiel's page are not places but states of mind. The Babylonians, the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and the Assyrians riding on horses are not people coming from without; they are the many facets of your own consciousness gathered as a caravan at the gates of your inner city. Each 'desirable young man' and each captain represents a quality you value in the outer world--ambition, prowess, prestige--energetic thoughts moving swiftly, pulling you toward appearances of royalty and security. When you identify with lack or exile, you are permitting these forces to rule; they patrol the borders of your awareness, requiring you to defend your kingdom against change. The cure is to assume the throne now, for the Kingdom of God is within. Name these images and decide what they shall do, not what they shall rule over you. Begin by accepting one inner power--wealth, authority, or provision--as already yours in present feeling. See the caravan bow to your authority and dissolve the belief that you must chase external favors. The inner assembly becomes guards guiding you back from exile into the kingdom you already possess.
