Jerusalem Within: Inner Prayer

Neville's Inner Vision

The passage invites you to shift from external ritual to the inner state of consciousness. The fasts are not mere days but turns of attention; the house of Judah becomes the centered awareness within you, where truth and peace are to be loved and lived as joyful feast. When you imagine yourself in that inner Jerusalem, the coming and going of peoples and nations reflect the bringing together of your own faculties—your desires, fears, hopes—into shared prayer before the I AM. The line I will go also is your decision to align every part of you with theLord within; you invite your thoughts and beliefs to seek truth together. As you persist in this assumption, the sense of joy replaces deprivation, and unity of purpose replaces division. Eventually your inner state draws external harmony—circles of friends, new opportunities, and circumstances that reflect a peaceful truth at the core. This is the practical demonstration that inner Jerusalem becomes outer life.
