Inner Season of Isaiah 7

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the LORD is the I AM awareness that rules your inner world. The 'days that have not come' signal an unborn state of consciousness awaiting your acceptance. The 'king of Assyria' is not a foreign foe but a mental impression that your attention has given power to. The hiss for the fly and the bee represents the moment you call forth even the smallest thoughts and feelings from the far reaches of your mind. When you invite them, they do not pour into your life as conquest; they take their place in the desolate valleys, holes of the rocks, and thorny bushes of your inner landscape. There they rest, as if set apart, so that you may observe their activity without being identified with it. In Neville's practice, this is the seed of a new season: acknowledge the inner disturbance, treat it as a messenger rather than an enemy, and through repeated assumption, let your awareness inhabit a state where fear loses its grip. The day the verse promises is the day your I AM chooses to dwell in wholeness, not in exile.
