Ezra's Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra’s rise and retreat into the chamber is the drama of your own consciousness. The house of God is the waking state, the I AM that never sleeps; rising up is the moment awareness chooses not to dwell in old stories. Going into the chamber is a deliberate withdrawal from the outer feed—the distractions of fear, blame, or guilt—and a turn toward the inner counsel of your true self. The fast, eating no bread and drinking no water, signifies the narrowing of attention to essential reality: you are not defined by the latest circumstance but by the eternal you that endures. The mourning over the transgression of those carried away becomes your inward grief for a mistaken sense of separation from God, a grief that purifies rather than damns. In that quiet, you rewrite the scene from exile to return by affirming that the I AM is all and that you are already in the kingdom. Your inner practice is to dwell in that state until it feels real, until the outer world aligns with it.
