Inner City of Promise

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a psychological scripture, this passage invites you to see Abraham as a state of consciousness that refuses to settle for the temporary. By faith he sojourned, not in a distant country, but in the inner land of promise, living among 'Isaac and Jacob'—the enduring heirs of the same inner contract. The tabernacle is the shifting garment of circumstance; the true home is the city with foundations, a construction wrought by God—the Creator of perception, the I AM that you are. When you recognize that 'builder and maker is God,' you acknowledge that your world takes its form from awareness, not from mere outward occurrences. Your faith is the pilgrim's map, guiding you to hold the end in mind until the present feels already aligned with it. This is not escapism but inner renewal: to inhabit the promised city within, you revise your sense of lack, you quiet the restless thoughts, and you dwell where your desire already exists as fact in consciousness. Persist in this inner expectation, and your outer weather will gradually reflect the foundations you have chosen in imagination.
