Inner Choir Of Ezra's Return

Neville's Inner Vision

To the observer in you, Ezra 2:41 proclaims not a census of strangers but a chorus awakening within. The 128 singers, the children of Asaph, are the many facets of your own worshipful I AM—the melodies your mind produces when it consents to its divine nature. Asaph, a priestly musician, stands for the organizing of inner states toward praise; the number 128 speaks not of externals but of the multiplicity of harmonies you can sustain in consciousness. When you dwell on this verse, you are asked to assume that you are listening to the inner choir, that your thoughts, feelings, memories, and inspirations are a unified congregation praising God within. The Presence of God is not somewhere above you but within the living field of awareness that you are. By aligning attention with this inner chorus, you wake the mind to see the self as the temple where the divine song resides. As you accept this, the outer return from exile becomes a return to wholeness inside.
