East and West: Inner Rescue

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, Zechariah’s east and west are not geography but the mind's turning points. The Lord of hosts speaking within you declares a guaranteed deliverance, not from a distant army, but from the sense of being torn apart by opposite influences. 'Save my people from the east country, and from the west country' becomes the promise that your inner state is already shielded by a divine order. When you inhabit the I AM—the awareness that you are, not what you fear—the perceived danger disappears. The rescue occurs as a revision in consciousness: you stop seeing yourself as divided, and you return to wholeness, here and now. Your imagination is the instrument, and your feeling the medium through which this salvation is felt, imagined, and thus manifested. Practice the stance that the eastern impulse and the western impulse have no power over the one life within you. You are saved; your world rearranges to reflect your inner peace.
