Jerusalem Within: Inner Complicity

Neville's Inner Vision

This text is a note to your inner state: when I stand on the far side, allowing strangers to carry away my forces, I am already consenting to collapse. The other side and the foreigners are not outside armies but thoughts that invade my inner Jerusalem—the sanctuary of my awareness. When I cast lots upon it, when I permit fear and judgment to choose my fate, I become as one of them, forgetful of my sovereignty. The cure is simple: withdraw the support you give to that scene and assume a new inner posture: I AM; I stand at the gates and keep them with compassion and discipline. See the invaders dissolve as you refuse to surrender your inner city to limitation. Your present moment can return to life, not as a punishment but as a correction in consciousness. The judgment passes away only when I awaken to the truth that I have always stood in the city of God, and I choose renewal by perception, not by external fortune.
