Inner Jerusalem Forever

Neville's Inner Vision

Interpret the scene as a statement about your own consciousness. If you see Egypt as desolation and Jerusalem as permanence, you are not talking about nations but about states of mind. The violence mentioned is inner conflict—the clashing thoughts that would erase your sense of security in the I AM. The 'children of Judah' are your faithful states, your loyalty to the divine I AM within; the 'land' is the field of your awareness. When you permit Judah to dwell forever, you are choosing to sustain an inner Jerusalem, a harmony of being that cannot be uprooted by appearances. The prophecy then becomes a promise that your awareness can establish a fixed city in the heart, not by outward events but by inner consent. Begin to assume the feeling of the enduring dwelling place. Your imagination is the soil; your choice to feel 'I am' as the ruler and caretaker of this inner city reorients the entire picture. As you persist in this feeling, the outer scene is revised to reflect the inner truth: permanence in God, and a vanishing of desolation.
