Gates, Highways, and the Inner Standard

Neville's Inner Vision

I read Isaiah 62:10 as an invitation to set your inner landscape in order. The gates are the beliefs and habits you accept in ignorance; go through them, and you step into a more spacious sense of self. The highway you cast up is the vibrational road you ride when you entertain a definite frame of mind. Cast up the stones—those nagging memories, doubts, and resentments—so they no longer block your movement. Lift up a standard for the people by declaring, I AM, here and now, the authority and Presence that governs my life. This is not geography but psychology: exile is the roaming of an unfixed consciousness, return is the moment you identify with your true state. The Kingdom of God is a present condition of awareness, realized by feeling your wish fulfilled in the imagination, until it becomes your lived experience. When you dwell in that present state, the outer world rearranges to match the inner declaration.
