Inner Return to Jerusalem

Neville's Inner Vision

Zechariah speaks of salvation from the east and the west, and of gathering a people to dwell in the heart’s Jerusalem. For the mystic this is a map of consciousness: the dispersed self is drawn together by the I AM into one inner city. The remnant is the steadfast state of awareness that chooses truth over fear; the covenant is the unbreakable law by which your being aligns with its own reality. When you see God not as a distant savior but as the I AM within, you are saved from every far country—east and west—through the reclamation of your center. You are brought to the inner Jerusalem, where you affirm, in truth and in righteousness, that you are God’s people and He is your God. This is not history but your present experience unfolding as you persist in imagining yourself already in covenant with God. Let imagination be your instrument: dwell in that state, and the outer world will align with the inward conviction, until your life itself testifies to your inner dwelling.
