Stone Cast Down: Inner Babylon Vanishes

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this vision, Babylon is not a place but a state of mind—the habit of worshiping outward power, wealth, and control. The mighty angel is the I AM within you, the higher self delivering a decisive message. The stone stands for a fixed belief you have held about reality—a weighty notion that keeps the city standing in your inner world. When you cast that stone into the sea, you sink the last anchor of that belief into the unconscious. The sea represents your vast inner medium, where thoughts surge and dissolve; as the stone sinks, the city of Babylon loses its momentum and must fall. The command 'Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down' speaks not of external war, but of the inward violence of decisive conviction—an instant revision of your identifications by the power of awareness. Once the old city dissolves, you awaken to the truth that the Kingdom of God is not coming from outside but is already present as your I AM awareness.
