Inner Watchmen of Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

Your mind is the city; the walls are the boundaries of your inner states of consciousness. The watchmen are the steady habits of thought you keep guarding your inner life. When it says they will never hold their peace day nor night, it invites you to sustain constant imaginative attention—never drift into doubt, never release your assumption. 'Make mention of the LORD' is your declaration that the I AM is the ruler of awareness; 'keep not silence' translates to persisting in your inner affirmations until the inner state is reflected in outward life. God, the I AM, is within you, not distant; He is established in you as you hold a steady vision. 'Till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth' becomes your inner condition turning outward—your state of praise becoming your circumstance. If struggle arises, revise your assumption until it feels natural that the I AM has already established the city and that the earth is responding to your inner order.
