Inner Rejoicing With Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

In the realm of your consciousness, Jerusalem is the inner city you cultivate—the order and peace your I AM longs to express. The command Rejoice ye with Jerusalem becomes a directive to awaken to the state you already carry. When you love this inner city, you align your feeling with its triumph, and joy flows into every circumstance, even those that seem to mourn for her. Mourning fear or lack dissolves as you declare, 'I rejoice with Jerusalem; I am that joy now.' The verse asks you to share the rejoicing with others, which in Neville's sense means radiating the imagined reality into your world. Your outer life is but a mirror of your inner alignment: as you dwell in the consciousness of Jerusalem as your personal city prepared for peace, you will notice shifts in relationships, responses, and the mood of events. The discipline is simple: hold the feeling-state of joy, assume the state of the wish fulfilled, and let your I AM animate outward life with harmonious expression.
