Inner Judgment in Consciousness

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, Babylon is a state of consciousness, not a city. The archers are the scattered thoughts and judgments you allow to encircle a belief you call real. 'Camp round about' describes your mental atmosphere—surround a fixed image with consistent attention until it feels inevitable. 'Let none escape' signals the law of cause and effect you cannot outrun within imagination; every inner act returns as outer experience when you accept it as real. 'Recompense her according to her work' becomes: your present life will mirror the inner patterns you have nourished with pride, fear, or self-assertion. 'She hath been proud against the LORD' translates as the ego's resistance to the I AM, to your true divine center. The Holy One of Israel is your invincible awareness; siding with it dissolves the need for external judgment. When you accept the position of the observer and imagine the self already free, you permit a new arrangement of events to unfold, as if the law were simply fulfilling the inner decree of your consciousness.
