Path of Life Within

Neville's Inner Vision

I am the I AM within you, and the city in the text is the present condition of your mind. The Lord speaks not of outward geography, but of inner disposition: you have a choice between the way of life and the way of death, between staying fixed in a tense, besieged state and stepping out into a larger consciousness. To abide in the city is to identify with threat, famine, and sword—an inner script that consumes you. To go out and fall to the Chaldeans is to abandon the old self-concept and align with a new, imagining you that lives. The Chaldeans are not strangers; they are the hands that you deploy when you revise your imagination, when you refuse to let doom be your final authority. Your life becomes your prey only when you accept the old story as real. The live is the living, aware I AM, which never dies. Thus, the still small voice asks you to choose by assuming the end you desire as already real: you are the life that survives; you are the life that thrives, not the one under siege. The moment you go out in your mind, the outside world must follow.
