Sea of Mind: Merchant City

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the sea as your vast, pre-conscious imagination. The stretching hand is the intentional act of Attention from the I AM, the awakened awareness within you. The kingdoms he shakes are the shifting beliefs and fears that hold you to outer power—money, status, security outside your own awareness. The merchant city is the habit of trading your peace for possessions, the busy mind that measures life by commerce rather than divine perception. When the LORD gives a commandment to destroy the strongholds, this is not punishment but a decisive inner decree: let the old walls fall, let the old agreements crumble, let the mind be reorganized by inner truth. As you consent to this decree, you may observe your outer circumstances loosen: opportunities, failures, relationships, all rearranging to reflect your inward state. The inner authority is always present as I AM. Trust that this inward demolition makes space for the true kingdom—where Providence guides you and security rests in awareness, not in external structures.
