Inner Zion Salvation Realized

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Psalms 14:7 in Neville's key is to hear the inner cry for salvation, not a distant victory. Zion is the inner consciousness where truth abides; exile and captivity are thoughts and feelings that bind awareness. When the Lord 'brings back the captivity,' you awaken to the truth that you are the I AM, the self that governs your experience. The awakening transforms Jacob into rejoicing and Israel into gladness because the mind has shifted from fear to trust. The scene is not a request for God to intervene outside you; it is a description of a change in state of consciousness. In Neville's psychology, salvation is already present as your intimate reality; it is the moment your imagination accepts and dwells in the end of freedom. The outer world then follows as the natural expression of this inner state. Thus, the Psalm invites you to revise your sense of self until Zion is your dominant atmosphere and captivity has no place to hold. You are the I AM, you are the ruler of your life, and salvation is the awareness that was always yours.
