Inner Exile, Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this is not a threat but a turning of your inner state. The 'house' is your mind and its securities—the beliefs, habits, and outward props you trust for safety. When the days arrive and the treasures belong no longer to you alone, they are carried away to Babylon, and you stand with nothing left in the old sense. This is the moment when the outer supports disappear so that you may discover a deeper wealth: your awake awareness, the I AM that neither comes nor goes. Babylon represents the ceaseless stream of thoughts that identify you with form. The removal of these treasures clears the stage for the true tenant to return—your divine self seated in the throne of consciousness. The LORD who speaks here is not a distant judge but your own inner king, the I AM perceiving itself. The promise is not a return to former circumstances but a return to the integrity of consciousness, a re-entry into the light that was always present. So embrace the loss as a purification, and let your awareness re-possess the house from within.
