Ezra's Inner Passover Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Ezra tells us that those held in captivity kept the Passover on a precise day, but the deeper meaning is that the mind is returning to its house. In Neville’s tongue, the children of the captivity are any state of consciousness that believes itself-bound by past troubles. The Passover is not a ritual in time but a revision in awareness: a decision to let the I AM, the living Presence within, proclaim freedom now. When you dwell on the fourteenth day of the first month, you are naming a fresh cycle—an inner door opening at the first sign of light. The act of keeping Passover becomes a covenant with your own indwelling God, a choice to forgive, release judgment, and bless the life you imagine. As you imagine from that finished state, you reverse the sense of exile and awaken as one who belongs to the realm of peace. The feast is the feeling of being at home in God, here and now.
