Inner Sight Jeremiah 5:21-23

Neville's Inner Vision

Hear the words of Jeremiah as a mirror of your own consciousness. The 'foolish people' are those who see and hear outwardly but forget the inward law that governs all you call real. The sea boundary and the roaring waves are symbols of immutable inner decree—your attention binding themselves to stormy trifles. In Neville’s language, God is I AM—the aware self that cannot be moved by appearances. When you truly tremble at the presence of that inner governor, you awaken to the fact that the boundary was never external but imagined. The rebellious heart is a belief you hold that you can resist your own good; it is a posture of doubt about your unity with the I AM. By revising that belief, by assuming the feeling of the fulfilled state, you render the waves harmless and the sand a mere symbol of settled law in your mind. Stay in the awareness that you are the conductor of your inner weather, and the external is but a reflection of your inner state.
