The Scattered City Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 11:8 speaks in the language of outward projects: a city built by human will is halted as the Lord scatters the people. In the Neville lens, the 'scatter' is not punishment but a correction of the dreamer's inner state. The city stands for a fixed plan born of collective identity—an egoic attempt to crown the self with unity through external structure. When consciousness clings to a single purpose, the I AM sees through it and introduces dispersion, breaking the spell of sameness so that new, freer movements arise within. We are told that the dispersal pushes individuals to express parts of their nature in diverse ways, restoring balance and humility. The inner law is simple: until the inner state aligns with Providence, outward projects stall; alignment brings forward new forms from the formless. The key practice is to notice when you feel compelled to 'build' one grand portrait of yourself and to shift awareness to the spacious I AM that already contains all possibilities. A humble imagination, lived as feeling, can reframe your day as a dispersion toward a larger, welcoming wholeness.
