Inner Fortresses Shaken to Release

Neville's Inner Vision

From this Nahum image you have drawn, see the fortifications of the outside as mere projections of your inner habits. When the firstripe figs of certainty are shaken, the trees fall into the eater’s mouth—the eater being fear, doubt, and the sense of separation. The shouting 'enemies' at the gates are the emotions and thoughts that arise when you forget who you are. The fire that devours the bars is the transformative energy of consciousness that burns away the old boundaries when you awaken to the I AM within. Do not defend the outer structure; instead, re-create the state of consciousness that makes the structure unnecessary. Your true city is within, and its walls are the steady awareness that you are the I AM, the Living One, always intact regardless of circumstance. By refusing to identify with the appearances and choosing to inhabit the inner fortress, you convert every siege into a reveal of your power to manifest and preserve yourself from within.
