Inner City Silence and Comfort

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the 'thee' as your own consciousness. When the mind gazes at Nineveh, it is really gazing at a state you have identified with; the onlookers who flee are the inner voices that abandon a belief once it admits desolation. The world proclaims Nineveh laid waste, yet the truth is that God is I AM, the steadfast awareness that remains untouched by appearances. If you insist the outer scene proves your ruin, you are simply confirming a belief you have not yet released. The moment you acknowledge I AM as the sole reality, the sense of desolation loses its hold. Then comforters arise from within—fresh ideas, a renewed purpose, a quiet assurance—because you are no longer seeking consolation from a distant city but from the living I AM inside. Nahum’s image is a mirror: when you revise the inner state, the outward scene reflects your new consciousness. The prophecy of judgment dissolves into the freedom of creation, here and now, by a single shift in awareness.
