Inner Ruler of Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

Rephaiah is not merely a man but a state of consciousness that claims a portion of your inner city and rules there. When you hear 'next unto them,' understand it as an invitation for your own inner states to gather and cooperate in repair. Jerusalem represents your true nature; its walls guard the sacred boundaries of your being. The work of repair is interior: a deliberate act of imagining and feeling as if the walls are already standing firm. The ruler within you governs the capacities, boundaries, and choices of that half of your mind. By assuming leadership over a portion of your inner Jerusalem, you invite unity among diverse thoughts and feelings. Persist in this inner administration, and the broken places mend; a sense of wholeness returns. You thereby demonstrate that your mind can govern its own borders, and through inner correspondence your outward life aligns with that inner order. This is the meaning: inner leadership, cooperative states of consciousness, and the repair of your sacred city through imaginative faith and consistency.
