Array Against Babylon Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah’s oracle is not about a distant empire alone, but about a state of consciousness called Babylon. Babylon represents any habit, fear, or belief you have allowed to govern your inner kingdom. The bow, arrows, and the surrounding rally describe the autopilot thoughts and imaginations that cling to a sense of separation from the I AM. To “array yourselves” around Babylon is to encircle the old self with a new awareness: you are the I AM, the sovereign observer, creator of your inner weather. When the text speaks of vengeance, it is the natural law of consciousness restoring balance by dissolving the false foundations you have previously defended. The “walls” and “foundations” falling signify the collapse of limiting structures that once seemed secure. The command to shout becomes the affirmation of truth within you, not violence without. Your inner Babylon yields when you insist on the one reality—I AM—over all appearances of lack, danger, or separation. Align with that truth, and the external siege becomes a translation of inner harmony.
