Inner Comfort Through Isaiah 51:19-20

Neville's Inner Vision

In this inner scene, the 'two things' that have come unto thee are not distant judgments but states of consciousness you have accepted. Desolation is the mind emptied of its cherished forms; destruction is the tearing away of old decisions. The famine is the lack you feel in your sense of supply, and the sword is the conflict between thoughts you entertain. The question 'who shall be sorry for thee?' invites you to wake to the law of your own making: you, and you alone, hold the key to comfort. The cry that 'thy sons have fainted' marks the moment your inner faculties lose vitality under fear. 'They lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net' shows impulses once free now trapped by images you feed. Yet the Lord's fury and rebuke signal the divine energy within—your I AM. If you assume the feeling of the I AM as yours, and revise the scene to one of quiet majesty and rest, the desolation dissolves and your inner faculties regain strength. The imagination that comforts is the living God within you, casting out fear and restoring order.
