Inner Zion: Renewal in Exile

Neville's Inner Vision

Zion in this scene is not a distant battlefield but your own inner country—an unshakable I AM that remains even when appearances declare desolation. The foxes gnawing on the mountaintop symbolize wandering thoughts and petty fears that arise when you lose sight of your true center. Thou O LORD remains forever is the steadfast awareness you are, the I AM that time cannot erase. When you cry, Wherefore dost thou forget us, you are hearing the old state of separation, not the truth. The inner invitation Turn thou us unto thee, and we shall be turned asks you to revise your assumption: align with God within, and your entire sense of self tilts toward that conviction. Renew our days as of old signals a fresh memory of oneness, a reset of perception back to the original kingdom of consciousness. The moment you drop the belief in rejection and rest in the living presence, you discover that renewal is not a future event but a present act of reorientation. The divine I AM remains; your experience follows your turn.
