Inner Jerusalem Awakening

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Zechariah 8:4 as Neville would is to notice that the old men and women are states of consciousness, not mere bodies fixed in time. The renewed Jerusalem is the inner city of God where attention rests; to dwell there is to align with the I AM as your continuous, alive presence. The staff in their hands stands for the daily discipline of faith—the remembered order of divine law, the practiced turning away from fear toward trust. When you acknowledge that the Lord of hosts dwells within you, you awaken to a city that renews itself by imagination. The phrase for very age points to timeless life here and now: as you hold to the truth of your unity with God, your inner city steadies and your outward life reflects that order. This is not a denial of aging but an expansion of consciousness beyond limitation; as you ascend in awareness, you become the elder in a field of living light, guiding yourself and others toward the Kingdom of God.
