The Inner Babylon Falls

Biblical Context
Revelation 18:22-23 portrays the end of outward social life and commerce as internal deception is exposed and external forms fade; judgment falls on reliance on worldly wealth and power.
Neville's Inner Vision
In Neville's perspective, Babylon is a state of consciousness clinging to appearances—the voices of harpers, craftsmen, and merchants symbolize habitual thoughts that derive life from outer structures. The line about the light of a candle no longer shining signals the collapse of those external forms as your awareness shifts. The sorceries represent limiting beliefs that wealth, status, or ritual can supply existence. When you align with the I AM—the eternal awareness within you—the inner basis of life no longer depends on markets, opinions, or forms. The 'kingdom of God' becomes a felt reality, not a geography: a quiet, all-providing consciousness that furnishes every need. As you revise your sense of self and supply, the external scenes of birth, marriage, music, and business recede from your attention, not by force but by a deeper recognition that you are the witness and source of all that appears. The judgment is the thinning of old identifications, inviting you into the right state of consciousness where true prosperity resides.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and envision the marketplace dissolving into stillness; then affirm, 'I am the I AM; all supply flows from within me,' and feel the inner light awaken as the outer forms fade.
