Awakening Inner Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

Jerusalem in Isaiah is your inner city of consciousness. The cup of fury is not a geographic fate but a belief in punishment and separation you once swallowed with your attention. To drink it dry means you wore fear as identity and looked for guidance outside yourself. The text’s cry—awake, awake, stand up—becomes a call to turn from the scene of drama into the simple power of the I AM you are. There is no guide among the sons you have brought forth because the old vision relied on teachers, authorities, or conditions to fix you. Yet the hand that would lead you is not gone; it is the inner hand of your own divinity, waiting to be held by your belief. When you revise the past and refuse to argue with it, you suddenly find you are not left alone but surrounded by your own inner Presence, guiding every step. The exile and return describe your mind moving from belief in lack back into unity with God by awareness, not by outward help.
