Inner Jerusalem Rejoices Now

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah 65:19 emerges as a decree from the inside: Jerusalem is your state of consciousness, and I, the I AM in you, will rejoice there. The 'people' are your faculties, ready to celebrate when you choose not to listen to the weeping within. The voice of weeping and the voice of crying are not prophecies but the old weather of belief. When you dwell in the state that already rejoices, you revise the inner weather; you pretend it is so and feel it real, until the mental mood aligns with jubilation. As you hold that felt sense, fear dissolves, tears dry up, and the city becomes a place of peace—Shalom—not as a future event but as the present atmosphere you inhabit. This inner joy radiates outward, turning sorrow into praise and hinting at a future of hope that is simply awareness waking to itself. The verse invites a daily practice: identify yourself with the rejoicing 'Jerusalem' and let the cry-free life steadily manifest.
