Inner Nations as Witness

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM of your being, the nations are not distant peoples but the many states of your own mind. When Isaiah asks them to declare and show former things, he is inviting you to audit your memory and your beliefs—what past conditions you keep reliving and what future outcomes you seek to justify. The witnesses are not external scholars; they are your inner habits, your sensory impressions, your habitual thoughts that line up with a particular state. If these witnesses can only affirm the old story, you remain in bondage to it. But when you turn inward and identify with the awareness that you are, the I AM, you begin to gather new witnesses who testify that the new state is true. The moment you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you are inviting the inner crowd to sing a different verdict: It is truth. In that inner tribunal, the outer world must reflect the declared truth, for all outward events are but manifestations of your inner conviction.
