Neville's Inner Vision

Within your consciousness, the 'old gate' is a long-standing habit or belief that has kept experience bounded. When Nehemiah names Jehoiada and Meshullam repairing it, this is a symbolic map of inner remodeling: beams correspond to the conviction that supports a new life, doors to entrances opening to new possibilities, and locks and bars to boundaries that keep out doubt. The gate’s repair is done not by external labor but by an inner alliance of faculties aligned under your I AM awareness. By imagining and feeling yourself in a new state of being, you invite Providence to guide this inner workforce. The gate becomes a threshold that no longer stagnates but yields to present possibility. As you dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, imagination rearranges the order of your mind, and your life begins to flow through this renewed passage with greater integrity and ease.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine two inner helpers repairing the gate within you. See beams being laid, doors set, locks secured, and bars in place. Then feel the gate open to new possibilities as you dwell in the feeling of your desired state.
