Dawn of Inner Justice

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this page I hear of a day of vengeance, but in the Neville frame this is not external punishment; it is the arising of inner awareness. The land that lies waste is the mind fixed in fear; the streams turned to pitch are dead beliefs I have held as true. The unquenchable smoke is the perpetual motion of a consciousness that refuses to shift. Yet the promise of Zion is the inner realm that I have already established by imagination. As I dwell in the I AM, I detach the old state and allow a new crown of righteousness to illuminate all experience. This is not punishment to be endured but a charging of my inner state, a decisive shift that makes the outer world reflect a purified inner atmosphere. Remember that the generation to generation decree is my own persistence; I decide now to persist in this transformation until the waste is transfigured by the burning fire of awareness. The day of the LORD becomes the day I recognize as my own consciousness rising to justice, order, and return to peace.
