Dwelling in Your Inner Land

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 9:3-4 invites you to see exile not as a place, but as a state of mind—the sense that you are away from the Lord’s land within. When you identify with lack, fear, or guilt, you metaphorically return to Egypt; you eat what is unclean in the theater of your own thoughts and you look for nourishment in the wrong places. The warning about not pleasing the Lord with certain offerings points to ritual acts performed while your awareness is elsewhere. The bread of mourners—what you eat that does not feed your true self—does not enter the house of the Lord because the House is the altar of consciousness. To reverse it, shift your attention from externals to the I AM, the steady you that never leaves the sanctuary of Now. Assume you are already dwelling in that Lord’s land; feel the interior alignment as your norm. In this felt-reality, your offerings are no longer burdens but expressions of wholeness. Your inner temple becomes the temple you live in, and all nourishment moves through purer awareness.
