Desert Call to Inner Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Johns call to repentance is not only outward reform but an invitation to shift the inner state. The wilderness is the mind, a desert where old beliefs crumble. Repent means change of mind, a revision of how you define self. When you hear that the kingdom of heaven is at hand, you sense that the kingdom is not a distant place but your own awareness, present and exact. The I AM in you is the kingdom you awaken to by imagining yourself as already there. The desert, the voice, and the call are inner signals that your consciousness can pivot toward God states. To receive this, you do not seek external signs; you assume the feeling of that presence now, and your experience rearranges to align with it. The prophetic inner voice becomes direct perception, revealing you as both container and expression of divine life. As you revise your sense of self to match that divine fact, the apparent distance to heaven dissolves.
