Inner Brightness and New Name

Neville's Inner Vision

Zion in this text is not a distant city but your own state of consciousness—the I AM you are. When the verse speaks of righteousness going forth as brightness and salvation as a lamp, it is declaring that your inner vision, held consistently, becomes the light by which you move, think, and act. The reference to Gentiles and kings seeing thy righteousness points to outer circumstances reflecting your inner clarity; people and events respond to the steadiness of your inner sight. The promise of a new name is the reclamation of identity: you are named by the mouth of the LORD as one who walks in awakened consciousness, not by the old self’s fears. The practice is an inner revision: fix your attention on the image of yourself already righteous and saved, and persist until your external world mirrors that brightness. Your entire life becomes a testimony to a single light that guides every moment, a lamp that never goes out.
