Naked Sign of Inner Judgment

Neville's Inner Vision

In an inner reading, the chapter's events become your mind's calendar of crisis and release. The year of Tartan and the siege become the moment when your old stories are tested by a sharper awareness. The command to loose the sackcloth and to put off the shoe is not a punishment but a clearing of appearances; it asks you to stand in the naked presence of I AM, without the cover of roles or identities. Isaiah’s barefoot march is the internal practice of unguarded consciousness—acknowledging that your self-image is but a temporary garment. The sign declares that what you call Egypt and Ethiopia are merely projections of belief; when the king of Assyria arrives in your mind as a verdict, you watch your old fears and attachments depart as captives. The judgment, seen this way, reveals not punishment but release: a turning away from dependence on outward signs toward the inward state of pure awareness. Exile becomes return: a coming home to your true I AM, from which you can imagine and, therefore, manifest anew.
