Inner Fire of the Mind City

Neville's Inner Vision

That spoken scene is not about bodies or maps, but about states of consciousness. The 'broad earth' and the 'camp of the saints' indicate your broad imagination and your centered, true self—the saints—where the I AM dwells. The 'foes' are not other people but the gripping fears, doubts, and old identities you have permitted to encircle your inner city. When you imagine the fire came down from God out of heaven as a present, luminous awareness, it consumes those faulty constructions and dissolves the belief in separation. The beloved city is the inner state of completed faith, the memory of God within you that remains unchanged by appearances. By refusing to identify with the fear and by dwelling in the realization that God is your awareness, you invite the purifying fire to clear the mental landscape, leaving you free to act from righteousness and justice. This is not vengeance but restoration—the Kingdom of God within, where salvation and redemption are always at hand as you shift your inner positioning.
