Inner City Measured by Imagination

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, the city is not a place on a map but your state of consciousness—the Kingdom of God you carry. The golden reed is the instrument of awareness your I AM uses to measure what you accept as real inside: the gates mark what you admit into experience, the wall marks what you permit to surround and protect your sense of self. When you listen to the one who talks with you, you hear the instruction to inspect your inner boundaries, not to judge a distant city, but to see how your imagination is laying out the very architecture of your life. The act of measuring is a deliberate act of consciousness, a choosing to align perception with the truth that you are the I AM, and that your inner city is already complete in principle. The gates and walls exist as possibilities within, not external constraints—your recognizing and affirming them transforms your day-to-day reality.
