Inner Call Awakening Isaiah 64:7

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville’s atmosphere, the line reveals not external neglect but the inner state that forgets its own I AM. When there is none who call upon Thy name, it is the soul's refusal to awaken to its own divine address—the I AM that you are. The phrase 'stirreth up himself to take hold of thee' invites you to awaken the inner will, to arouse the mind to grab hold of its own source and to turn toward the presence you already possess. 'Thou hast hid thy face from us' is the dream of separation breathed by fear, guilt, and habit; yet the God you seek is the I AM awake within, the constant light that is not distant but merely unseen while you cling to old thoughts. 'Because of our iniquities' becomes a note that the inner life is clouded by mistaken beliefs about yourself. The remedy is repentance in Neville’s sense: turn your attention inward, revise the feeling of separation, and call the I AM by name until your awareness shifts from absence to presence. In that moment, the 'consumption' of old fears is replaced by the consuming fire of an awakened consciousness that keeps you in communion with thy name.
