Inner Silence of Joyful Voices

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Jeremiah as the inner narrative you repeat to yourself in moments of overwhelm. The I AM, your essential awareness, is not weeping because God punishes you; it is revealing that you have identified your life with sounds outside you—the wedding, the millstone's rhythm, the candle's light, the noise of the world. When you hear 'I will take them away,' rest in the truth that you can withdraw your attention from those outer sounds and return to the center of being where you know 'I AM'—you are the perceiver, not the produced. The loss of mirth should be seen as a turning inward, a purification of your focus. In this sense, exile becomes a choice of inner posture: you choose to reframe your circumstances by assuming a state of fullness, gratitude, and love regardless of appearances. Your inner kingdom does not depend on outward ceremonies; it arises when you dwell in the conviction that you are the source of all that you hear and see. Return is the moment you decide to feel the gladness within as your true reality.
