Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra's act is not a distant ritual but a map of inner states. The house of God is the sanctuary of your awareness—the I AM you are. When Ezra prays and confesses, you witness the moment your subconscious surrenders to a higher perception. The very great congregation represents the multitude of inner dispositions—fears, desires, habits—responding to the call for alignment. Casting himself down before the house of God is the practice of yielding to a new state, kneeling to the dominant awareness you choose to embody. As you assume this elevation, the inner crowd moves toward one purpose: to be present with God rather than with separation. The shift you call repentance and turning is an inward amendment that relocates your sense of self to the I AM. When sorrow releases, you are not merely crying; you shed an old image and invite inner vision to reign, right here, right now.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes and imagine you stand before the inner house of God; confess a limitation you carry, feel it melt as you revise your state to the I AM within.
