The Inner Way in Zion

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah speaks of Zion as a living state of consciousness, not a geographical place. The people who dwell there are those who have learned to listen to the gracious voice of their I AM when they cry inwardly; comfort comes as a response of awareness to vibration of want. The bread of adversity and the water of affliction are not punitive, but the conditions that wake your mind to its own power. Your outward teachers need not be removed; rather, your inner teachers become visible to the eye that trusts its own I AM. When you hear the word behind you saying, 'This is the way, walk ye in it,' it is your inner alignment guiding every turn—right or left—toward wholeness. Casting away the coverings of silver and gold is a surrender of false images, a renunciation of idol worship, replaced by devotion to the living Presence within. Then rain falls on your seed, abundance fills the land, and beasts graze in fat pastures. All of this occurs as you dwell in Zion and yield to the quiet, reliable guidance of your inner teachers.
