Jerusalem Within: Cup of Trembling

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner reading, Jerusalem stands for your I AM—the constant awareness behind every thought. The cup of trembling is not a future doom but a present signal: your mind is being stirred to wake up. The siege encircling Judah and Jerusalem mirrors the pressure of fear, doubt, and old habit pressing on your central consciousness. When you recognize that you are the I AM, the external siege loses its grip; the trembling is a transient movement of consciousness, not a lasting fact. The verse asks you to revise the belief that you are besieged by circumstances. Assume the state of unshakable peace, feel it in your chest, see the inner city fortified by the power of awareness, and dwell there until the world around responds in harmony. Your imagination is the architect; by living in the felt truth of wholeness, you invite the new state into being and turn siege into an invitation to awaken.
