Inner Rest, Earthly Rejoicing

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah’s image of the whole earth at rest is not a distant prophecy but a mirror for your inner state. When you accept that you are the I AM, the sense of Babylon—the dream of being ruled by circumstances—collapses. The rest you sense outwardly is the inner stillness that follows the cessation of inner resistance. The trees’ rejoicing represents your own faculties—memory, imagination, desire, will—standing in order beneath your awareness, under the banner of the I AM. Since you are the one power in your dream, the feller no longer comes up against you; the fear and attack you once felt disappear because they are only thoughts you have allowed to cut into your peace. The verse invites true worship: to align your heart with the fact of God within, to stop courting struggle and to bless the quiet center that commands the world to reflect its harmony. When you dwell in that consciousness, rest becomes your natural state, and singing flows from your inner creation into your outer world.
