The Inner Gates of Nahum

Neville's Inner Vision

On the inner level, this is not a history but a map of consciousness. The 'worthies' you count are your habitual thoughts, defenses, and identifications; when you inflate them, they stumble in their walk and hurry to some wall, imagining protection apart from the One I AM. The wall and the defence are inner postures of mind—how you brace against fear, guilt, or lack. When the rivers' gates are opened, a flood of awareness sweeps through the mental city, washing away the palace of old beliefs. The palace dissolving is not destruction; it is the shedding of a past state of consciousness in favor of a larger presence. The work for you, the true you, is to allow the inner movement to continue, to rest in the I AM that witnesses all change. Do not fight the wave outside; revise your inner assumption to I am this awareness now. Rehearse a fresh state: I am the unconditioned witness; my gates are open to life, and the palace of limitation dissolves into awareness.
