Inner Cyrus Open Gates

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold, the verse speaks not of a man named Cyrus lifting gold from a throne, but of the I AM within you, the inner anointed who is ready to proceed. The LORD's right hand is your assurance that you are held up by a power greater than any circumstance. When you dwell in that awareness, nations—your fears, doubts, old habits—are subdued not by force, but by the shifting posture of consciousness. The two-leaved gates are the doors of opportunity in your own mind, and when God says they shall be opened, it is because your attention moves from limitation to possibility. Gates that were thought shut become pliant, responsive to your decision. The outer world reflects your inner disposition; hence this is a prophecy of liberation, a promise that your kingdom is already ahead of your thoughts. Remember: you are not seeking favor; you are assuming the state of the one who already has it, and reality follows your feeling.
