Glory Fades, Awareness Remains

Neville's Inner Vision

The vision of Isaiah speaks not to distant nations alone but to your inner state. The glory of Jacob thinning is the thinning of the external self-image that clings to name, image, and object—your reliance on the forms of worship and the busy externals of life. The harvest imagery teaches that what you reap is born of inner movements; when you pour attention into what you can see or hold as proof, you gather the produce of that belief. In that day, attention shifts from altars and images to the Maker within—the Holy One of Israel, the I AM of your own consciousness. Idols crumble when you stop worshiping the hands that made them and begin worshiping the consciousness that perceives through them. Strong cities become forsaken when you forget the rock of your strength, so you plant successfully only to harvest sorrow if your inner state remains fear-based or empty. Therefore, turn your gaze inward, to the Source, and your outer desolation will dissolve as you realize true provision is already within you.
