Jeremiah 35:11 Inner Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice, reader, that the 'we' in the verse are not merely soldiers and cities, but states of consciousness that cling to safety whenever pressure rises. Nebuchadrezzar's approach is the outer scenario that stirs an inner migration: you want to relocate to a safer inner Jerusalem, the sanctuary of the I Am, rather than face the unknown of the open field. In Neville's terms, fear is not a fact but a movement of mind; you are not at the mercy of armies, you are free to revise the scene by assuming you already dwell in the eternal Jerusalem within you. The true exile is from your own unguarded awareness; the return is the deliberate anointing of your I AM with constancy, so that no external threat can unsettle the peace that you are. Practice the art of feeling the wish fulfilled: I am utterly safe; I dwell in the inner city of peace, where time and danger lose their bite. When you adopt this inner relocation, you awaken endurance and a hopeful future begins to unfold.
