Inner Return From Captivity

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the verse as a map of your inner terrain. Exile and captivity are not found in a distant land, but in the mind scattered by false voices and manufactured dreams. The seventy years symbolize a long season of dwelling in limitation; when you stop listening to outer prophecies and begin listening to the I AM within, you begin the return. The God who says thoughts of peace toward you are directed toward your own consciousness oriented toward harmony, not fear. I know the thoughts I think toward you is the law of your inner life: you are the thinker, and your dominant state of feeling and belief fashions your world. To call upon God, to pray, and to seek with all your heart is to turn fully within and assume the state of your desired end. As you do, the I AM is found, captivity dissolves, and the scattered beliefs—fears, wishes, dreams—are gathered into a single, peaceful sense of self. Remember: imagination creates reality; by holding the end in feeling, you redraw your inner map and your world follows. The outer warnings are but reflections of inner misalignment; the true covenant is a felt assumption that you are already home in consciousness.
