No Deception, No Departure

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, the Lord's word here does not threaten a distant exile; it reveals your own inner habit of hoping for others to depart before you are free. In the inner theatre, the Chaldeans are not invading nations but fixed attitudes of mind—fears, doubts, and the habit of looking outside for deliverance. If you whisper 'they shall depart' you embed the sense of waiting, and your state remains unchanged; if you instead recognize that departure is a movement of your awareness itself, then you are already returned. The promise is not a calendar of events but a shift in consciousness: you are the I AM, and through imaginative assertion you rewrite your experience. By refusing self-deception, you choose accountability and open the door to a true exodus: from limitation to the awareness that all things necessary for your well-being reside in your inner state. The present moment becomes the harbor of return when you stop projecting departure and start assuming the state of arrival.
