Inner Babylon's Sea of Change

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe, for in the dream of Jeremiah, Babylon is not a city of brick but a state of consciousness—a name given to a chapter of egoic security. When Sheshach is taken and the praise of the whole earth astonished, it speaks of the moment you discover that the so-called outer power you worship is merely a projection of inner belief. The sea that comes up upon Babylon and covers it is the swell of thoughts and fears that rise when you attempt to anchor your identity in transient forms. In Neville's psychology, the outer world obeys the inner decree: as you awaken to the I AM, the imagined empire collapses, the astonishment of others fades, and a wider sea of divine awareness floods what you once called 'Babylon.' Your true center is not the city's fame but the unshakable awareness that you are that which remains when pictures of life change. The world becomes the echo of your inward state; change the state, and the stage of history rearranges itself.
