Jerusalem Within: Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Your life is a state of consciousness, and this psalm is the assertion of where your attention dwells. When you say that you will be silent unless the memory of the inner Jerusalem rises, you are declaring that the sovereign reign of the I AM must govern speech and experience. Exile is not a geography but a wandering of awareness from divine alignment to the noise of lack; the chief joy is the supreme gladness that comes with knowing God within. To prefer Jerusalem above all is to choose the consciousness that cannot be shaken by appearances. The call to remember the Edomites becomes a declaration to dismiss hostile thoughts and external conditions that would erase your inner city. Do not empower them; you are the power of belief, and belief creates the world you live in. The cry for return is the soul’s vow that the inner city already exists within you, accessible the moment you dwell in the I AM. Thus exile is only a passage to a permanent Jerusalem inside, and hope becomes the certainty of restoration already present in your consciousness.
