From Desolation to Inner Zion

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah's wilderness of holy cities is not a distant catastrophe; it is the inner state revealed to your own consciousness. The desolation tells you what you are believing about God, about worship, and about your capacity to commune with the I AM. In Neville's method, places are dispositions and events are movements of mind. When Zion and Jerusalem appear as ruins, notice the thought-feelings that produced them: fear, doubt, or absence of reverent attention. The remedy is simple, yet radical: assume the end already accomplished. Do not beg for a restoration that mirrors the old condition; instead, imagine the inner temple rebuilt, its halls radiant with presence, its doors open to praise. Feel the atmosphere of gratitude and awe as if you stand within a living temple, and declare quietly, 'I am the I AM.' With that assumption, you are not waiting for God to return; you awaken to God within as your eternal present. The ruin dissolves as your consciousness shifts, and the outer signs follow the inward reality.
