Inner Allocation Of Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse the rulers are the governing ideas within you, and Jerusalem is the state of consciousness where you stand fully awake, holy, and centered. Casting lots becomes the inner act of decision—no chance, but a deliberate exercise of imagination to appoint where attention shall dwell. The one-tenth dwelling in Jerusalem designates a portion of your awareness reserved for the I AM, the living presence behind all things. The other nine parts, living in other cities, are your remaining thoughts, memories, and impulses that still roam. They are not enemies but residents under the sovereignty of the inner city, and the call to holiness is a call to unity: your entire being is to be housed in the one city of awareness, with all parts returning to wholeness as you reinforce this central truth. Exile and return are cycles of awakening; the moment you assume the Jerusalem state, dispersion dissolves into a single radiant I AM.
