Next unto Them: Inner Building

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the city of Jerusalem is the state of awareness you inhabit. The text's procession of builders is the choreography of your thoughts and feelings aligning under the I AM, one state stepping beside another in a continuous wall-building sequence. When you imagine 'next unto him,' you are witnessing the discipline of attention: a new belief stands next to a previous conviction, strengthening the boundary between what you are and what you want to become. The gates, beams, and bars symbolize habitual patterns you lay across your life to protect and express your true nature; to work upon them is to authorize a more expansive consciousness. The nobles who refused to bend represent resistive limiting beliefs; yet the presence of goldsmiths, apothecaries, and others shows every facet of your being can be employed toward the same end. As you persist, Jerusalem thickens from the river's edge to the governor's seat—the breadth of your awareness broadens, and your inner authority becomes unassailable. The entire effort is not about external feats, but about the inner alignment that makes that inner city feel already complete in your imagination.
