Inner Walls Rise: A Neville Insight

Neville's Inner Vision

To my inner ear, the scene reveals not men but my former states of consciousness. Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem are the voices of fear, habit, and limitation that jeer at any new venture. They ask, 'What is this thing you do?' and, 'Will you rebel against the king?' But the king I hear is not a tyrant outside me; it is the current outer condition I have accepted as law. I am the I AM, and I am building walls of order, faith, and disciplined imagination within my mind. The wall is not a trench of stone but a structure of awareness—thoughts aligned, feelings steady, vision clear. When I notice the jeers, I do not concede to them; I reinterpret them as tests I must pass to prove the reality of my desired state. The city being rebuilt already exists in the inner vision I hold, and my outer life must reflect that inward completion. Thus the mockery is a pointer toward persistence, a sign that I am pushing beyond the familiar toward a wider, divinely imagined order.
