Return of Inner Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, this is not a distant prophecy but a shift inside your own state of consciousness. The desolate streets signify a mind that believes it is barren or cut off from the I AM. The promise of joy, plus the voices of the bridegroom and bride, marks a renewal of your inner atmosphere—an undeniable return to a familiar, celebratory sense of being. The repeated refrain that the LORD is good and mercy endures forever becomes a fact in your awareness, a stable conviction that your inner life is governed by benevolence rather than lack. To bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD is to perform gratitude as an act of imagination, turning your sanctuary of awareness into a temple of thanksgiving. The line about returning captivity “as at the first” is a rewriting of memory in consciousness: you choose to live as if the land of your being has already been restored, and the sensation of wholeness flows from this inner decree.
