Jonah's Inner Temple Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Exile is not a place but a state of consciousness; you feel cut off from the I AM, from the temple within. The temple is where God dwells in awareness, not in a city or a ruin. Jonah’s line, 'I am cast out of thy sight,' speaks the exact pattern of lack you may entertain as your daily drama. When you repeat it, you reinforce separation; when you revise, reconciliation arises. The decisive move is not a miracle in the outer world, but a turning of attention. 'Yet I will look again toward thy holy temple' becomes your practical law. You pause the old story, imagine the temple lit within, and declare, 'I am already seen; I am already here.' As you dwell there, the sense of abandonment dissolves, replaced by the felt security of divine presence. Your future aligns with that inner alignment: hope, presence, and authentic worship spring from the renewed image of yourself as beloved in God’s sight. Begin in the imagination, and the outer scene will follow.
