Gates of Mourning Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the verse does not describe a distant city but a state of consciousness you carry. Judah's mourning is the inner mood you permit when you forget that you are the I AM, the awareness by which all events are known. The gates that languish are your beliefs and assumptions that keep you from freely entering your desired life. The black ground signals a mind convinced by appearances rather than by the ever-present reality of your own consciousness. And the cry of Jerusalem rising is the amplified vibration of thought your attention breathes into form. When you recognize this, you can revise: you do not battle the world; you adjust the state from which the world arises. Assume the feeling of the I AM as already true, feel the gates revived, and let the mourning fade as your sense of wholeness returns. Your imagination is the architect; every scene you inhabit with vivid inner certainty becomes the external season of your life. Thus, the desolation is a call to awaken to what you truly are—the creator of your own Jerusalem.
