Inner Carpenters of Zechariah

Neville's Inner Vision

From the inner theater, the four carpenters are not men but faculties of your consciousness—the imagination, the faith that holds, the steady will, and the memory of the I AM. The horns are the mental gales of fear, doubt, and the sense of separation that scattered Judah, your sense of unity with God. When Zechariah asks what these carpenters do, the answer comes: they fray, they cut away the external power you have conceded to your problems. In Neville's practice, this is not history; it is the inward movement of your state of being. The moment you recognize that the land of Judah is your inner kingdom, the oppressor loses its claim, and the horns fall to the ground. The deliverance promised is your atmosphere of awareness—peace that passes circumstance—and the return is the abiding sense of home within your I AM. Practice focusing on one vivid inner scene where you act as the carpenter and remove the obstruction by insisting that you exist as the steady God presence in you. Feel the relief as you know your will and imagination working in concert.
