Cut Off Your Hair, Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah's command to Jerusalem speaks to your mind. Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem means shedding the old self-image you cling to—hair as the outward sign of identity. Cast it away and take up a lamentation on high places, a shift of attention from crowded outer forms to the inner witness—the I AM that dwells in you. The LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath signals that the old state of wrath and judgment is not your true self; it is a familiar dream you can opt out of. In the realm of consciousness, you are not ruled by external judgments but by awareness itself. When you assume a new state—an inner image aligned with complete acceptance—you revise the scene. Your senses may scream that nothing changed, but imagination creates reality; begin to feel the I AM as your permanent address. The exile you perceive is the old self separating from the truth of who you are. Return now by choosing the feeling of the I AM and dwelling there as your reality.
