Inner Return to the LORD

Neville's Inner Vision

Let us reinterpret the words as the inner movements of consciousness. When the verse says come, and let us return unto the LORD, it is the I AM turning back to itself, the awareness returning to its own stream. The tearing and smiting are not external events; they are felt separations within your mind, the moment you forget who you are. Yet the promise remains: He will heal us, He will bind us up. The two days are the seasons of drift, two rounds of weary thought, two opportunities to believe in lack or loss. On the third day, revival comes—a new life arising from awakened imagination, a state in which you live in his sight, which means under the ever-present awareness that you are whole. Their going forth is the morning light; the going forth of God is renewal arriving like rain—unexpected, refreshing, and nourishing the earth of your being. If you persist in knowing, you will awaken to this reality.
