Three Parts of the Inner City

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the great city as the habitual state of your mind—fear, craving, and the stories you tell about life. When it is divided into three parts, your outer world must mirror an inner division: the cities of the nations falling reflects the breakdown of every fixed plan you trusted; Babylon, your fixed sense of self, is remembered before God as you drink the cup of your own making—your wrath is the price of clinging to separation. The islands fleeing and mountains not found speak to the disappearance of fixed images as you assume a new center within I AM consciousness. The hail that falls—stones weighing a talent—represents the stubborn belief in lack and danger; when you revise, that belief dissolves, and the plague proves to be the catalyst for awakening to unity. Yet people blaspheme, blaming God for distress; this is the mind protesting the rise of truth. The true judgment is your willingness to identify with I AM and let the old structures melt into nothingness from which you can rebuild a life grounded in peace.
