Dreams of Zion Restored

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 126:1 speaks of the Lord turning back the captivity of Zion, and in Neville's terms that is the turning of your inner city from bondage to freedom. The 'captivity' is a state of consciousness you have entertained about yourself—lack, delay, exile from your true nature. When you choose to imagine the end of that exile, you awaken as if you were dream-fetched by a higher self. The moment you dwell on the feeling of the wish fulfilled—Zion restored, joy returning, the mind dancing as if in a dream—you realize the outer events will reflect that inner state. The dreamlike quality is not escape but evidence that you are the I AM, the awareness that imagines itself into form. Do not seek externally for deliverance; revise the inner picture until it feels real, until 'turned captivity' becomes your normal state. The astonishment and laughter of those restored are your own inner laughter at the realization that you have always been free.
