Inner Covenant Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner Israel and Judah are waking, not in a geographic march but in a state of consciousness. In waking hours you feel the stir to seek the LORD your God, to revise the map of your day toward the Zion of your inner sanctuary. The 'way to Zion' is a mental direction—the faces turned toward the I AM within—where covenant is not a claim of the past but a living decision now: I am joined to the LORD, and the LORD is joined to me, in a perpetual covenant that cannot be forgotten because it is kept by awareness, not memory. When you imagine yourself walking with a soft weeping that is the shedding of old self-conceptions, you are not abandoning life but returning to your original state of unity. The covenant's durability is your own familiarity with God in every moment; it is a constant alignment of your consciousness with divine presence, available at any hour by a simple shift in attention.
