Desolate Cities, Living God Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner eye, the 'desolate cities' are states of consciousness where the I AM has not claimed occupancy. The person who 'dwelleth' there does so because thoughts of separation have built empty rooms in the mind; the houses 'ready to become heaps' represent beliefs that have outlived their life and stand as ruins awaiting a new order. But these images are not judgments on you; they are invitations to remember who you truly are. In truth, God is the I AM that looks through your windows at all times, even in the desert of your thoughts. By insisting on the presence of that Life in every ruin, you begin to revise the very architecture of your inner world. Claim the space as yours by feeling the I AM occupying it, repainting the walls with life, and turning vacancy into vibrancy. When you acknowledge that the desolation is simply a temporary condition within consciousness, the outer conditions inevitably respond. The inner city reawakens as you align with the eternal occupant—the self that never departs from its throne.
