Jericho's Inner Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse shows a man by Jericho's road, blind but keen to meanings. He hears the marching multitude and asks, 'What is this?' They answer, 'Jesus of Nazareth passes by.' In Neville's terms, this scene is your own consciousness listening to the outer world and proclaiming, in effect, 'What does this mean for me?' The crowd represents the cacophony of conditioned beliefs; Jericho stands as the ancient boundary within, where sight is blocked and judgment rules. Yet the moment the inner I AM aligns with the news that 'Jesus passes by,' the entire field of awareness shifts: presence arrives as consciousness itself. Faith then is not future hoping but the inner act of assuming that you are already seen, already guided, already alive in God. When you feel the truth that the I AM is near, the 'blindness' dissolves as you realize sight emerges from within. The external world becomes the echo of your inner state, not the cause of it. Your future hope grows because your present state is made real by feeling it now.
