Debir Within: Inner City Renaming

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's ear, Debir is not a city of stone but the inner citadel where the mind keeps its judgments and inspirations. 'Went up' speaks of rising awareness; to go to the inhabitants of Debir is to meet the resident beliefs, the stories you have lived by. The old name Kirjathsepher—the city of writing—represents your past scripts, the mental records you keep about who you are. When you, in imagination, rename it Debir, you install a living order: a sanctuary of the word that reveals the presence of God within. The I AM, your true awareness, moves through the walls and redefines the landscape. The 'kingdom of God' is not elsewhere; it is the present condition you cultivate by revision. Your task is to revise the inner map until your feelings align with the new designation. Sit with this practice, hear the new name spoken by your inner voice, and feel yourself already dwelling as the reality you seek. As the inner verdict holds, outer life follows the changed consciousness.
