Joyful Zion: Inner Rejoicing

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the daughter of Zion is a state of consciousness—the I AM awakens as your awareness—singing and shouting are your feelings confirmed by imagination. When you claim the heart’s gladness, you align with the inner rhythm of God, not by changing outer circumstances, but by elevating your inner sentiment to match your true nature. The "Israel" and "Jerusalem" designate the wholeness of your inner life, where every thought and image must be carried in a joyous mood. The command to be glad with all the heart is an instruction to feel the reality of your achievement here and now. You are not asking God to bring joy; you are awakening to the fact that you are the I AM, and joy is the unhidden truth of your being. When you imagine from this center, your experiences follow, as the physical world rearranges to reflect your inner gladness. So, praise is not performance but the embodiment of your consciousness.
