Inner Walls Rebuilt

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the wall being repaired is not a stone barrier but your state of consciousness. Nehemiah embodies the I AM, the awake observer who assigns each segment of the wall to a facet of self—the Levites, the rulers, the workers. Each portion healed by attention. The places named—the sepulchres of David, the pool, the house of Eliashib—stand for memory, cleansing, and the sanctuary within. When you imagine yourself taking up a section and repairing it, you are not doing a historical task; you are re-scripting your inner city. The persistence of the workers teaches perseverance: to hold a vision and rebuild piece by piece as old memories, fears, and habits are dissolved by consistent, imaginative effort. The turning of the wall at the armoury and the door of Eliashib's house signals a boundary between outer activity and inner worship, a shift from doing to becoming. Your job is to carry the same quiet authority: to repair, not to blame, to renew, not to resist. As each segment is restored, the whole becomes a harmony of intention and belief, a living city of consciousness renewed by imagination.
