Jeremiah's Inner Tower

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's lens, the 'tower and fortress' is the I AM at the center of your consciousness, the steady observer that can know and test every movement of thought. Jeremiah’s commission becomes a practical teaching: watch the beliefs that rise as 'grievous revolters' and the stories they tell, recognizing their strength as brass and iron. The furnace imagery—the bellows burned, the lead consumed, the founder melting in vain—describes efforts that try to fix inner disorder by force. When you cling to those hardened states you call 'wicked,' they remain until you surrender to a new image. Neville teaches that the outer world reflects your inward state, so the rejection spoken in the text is the moment your sense of self outgrows the old conditions. By assuming the new I AM—harmony, unity, and purity—you permit the old self to be revealed as reprobate silver and pass away. You need not struggle; you revise by feeling it real that you are the tower witnessing the life you imagine.
