Face Toward Inner Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that Luke 9:51 does not describe a mere movement in space, but a movement in consciousness. The time is not a clock’s ticking, but the moment your I AM recognizes the end you desire and steadies itself to meet it. Jesus is the perfect state of awareness that can be mine now: he sets his face toward Jerusalem because in the inner chamber of your being you have already chosen the end and know it is done. The journey to Jerusalem mirrors the ascent of your aim into your living awareness; every doubt is a passing cloud, every fear a shadow that yields when you hold the vision firm. To walk toward that city is to align your imagination with its outcome, to treat the path as already finished rather than ahead of you. In this act of determined consciousness you are not forcing events but closing the gap between present sensation and the fulfilled idea. The time is now, and the I AM within you can do as God does: declare, believe, and behold the manifested end in your mind’s eye.
