Return of Inner Zion

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, Zion is not a place but a state of consciousness reaching for its own recognition. When Zion spreads its hands, it is the inner call to be aware of the truth you already are; the feeling that there is none to comfort you points to the habitual thoughts that deny the presence of the I AM. The Lord's command that Jacob's adversaries surround him teaches that the very beliefs you identify with conjure the conditions you endure; you can withdraw power from them by changing your assumption. Jerusalem as a menstruous woman becomes a symbol not of guilt but of purification—old life-blood of old conditions flowing away to clear space for renewal. Exile and return describe the inner movement: you fall into an old consciousness, and you recover it by dwelling in the desired state, the I AM, which is always present. Imagination creates reality; you are invited to revise, feel it real, and let the outer scene reflect your inner restoration.
