Inner Vision of Zechariah 1:8

Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah’s night vision, when seen with Neville’s lens, is not a prophecy written to distant people but a map of your inner states. The rider on the red horse represents a fierce inward motion—desire, will, action—moving through the inner garden among the myrtle trees, those evergreen thoughts which persist in your mind. The bottom is the place of your deepest awareness, where the I AM sits as your true self, quietly directing scenes. Behind him are other horses—red, speckled, white—signifying other currents of consciousness circulating under the leadership of the same I AM. Seen thus, exile becomes inner resistance, and return becomes the inner restoration of your kingdom. The vision invites you to know that the kingdom of God is within and that your experiences of upheaval are only the outer effects of inner shifts in awareness. By turning attention to the I AM and holding a new state, you invite the appearance of that which Zechariah foresees: a life animated by order, vitality, and peace.
