Inner Jerusalem, Free at Last

Neville's Inner Vision

Two Jerusalems stand within the psalm of your life. Agar, the bondwoman, marks the Sinai posture—obsessed with law, guilt, and outward conquest. By identifying with that state you render your life a perpetual caravan of striving. But the Jerusalem above is free, the mother of us all, the living city within your own I AM, where every thought is a doorway and every desire is a doorway to liberty. In Neville’s terms, the verse invites you to see that freedom comes not by changing external conditions but by changing the state of consciousness from fear and duty to awareness and creative imaging. When you imagine you are already at home in the heavenly city, you align your feelings, assumptions, and actions with that reality. The old covenant dissolves because your inner witness transcends the letter; your body and world respond as simply the outward expression of your inward state. Therefore, dwell in the awareness that you are free, the mother of your experience, and watch the appearances yield to that inner truth.
