Inner City Desolation and Gate

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, the city is your inner world and the desolation is a temporary mood you permit when you forget who you are. The gate stands for the decisions and openings by which you enter life; when it is smitten with destruction, you have allowed your boundary to dissolve into fear, lack, or doubt, and the outer world mirrors that inner ruin. But God is not elsewhere; He is your awareness, the I AM that experiences being. The ruin you see is the last curtain dropping on a belief you no longer hold about yourself. To undo it, you do not plead with fate—you assume a new state in which the city is alive with purpose and the gate stands firm and welcoming. Sleep in the feeling that you are the intention behind every event, and that your mindful watch over your inner streets reforms them; the gate becomes a doorway of opportunity instead of a smashed barrier. When you dwell in this revised sense, the desolation dissolves, and the gate becomes the light by which you enter abundance.
