Exile to Inner Home

Neville's Inner Vision

Here is the psychological truth: Mesech and Kedar are not lands but interior dispositions. The cry 'Woe is me' reveals a moment when consciousness identifies with lack, distance, and danger. Yet the I AM, your true self, never moves; it is the one consistent presence behind every thought. If you feel exiled, you have assumed a state of awareness as if it were real and lasting. The remedy is to revise the scene in imagination until you feel 'home' now. Say to yourself: I am not wandering; I am dwelling in God. I am the I AM, and all tents are within the same divine city. When you imagine the present sense of exile dissolving, you awaken to the truth that the world you observe is only a picture formed by your inner state. The sense of separation falls away as you entertain the feeling of the wish fulfilled—already in you, already mine. Your tomorrow is your present imagination properly aligned; exile yields to the realizing presence of the I AM in which you rest.
