Inner Stewardship Of Vineyards

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the telling, Shimei and Zabdi are not strangers to history; they are projections of your own conscious state. Shimei the Ramathite, over the vineyards, stands for the supervisor of perception and growth—the field where your desires take root and ripen into experience. Zabdi the Shiphmite, over the increase of the vineyards for the wine cellars, represents your inner storehouse—the memory of past unfoldings, the ready supply you can draw upon when the moment calls. In Neville’s psychology, all places are inner dispositions and all events are movements of consciousness. The I AM, the awareness that you are, appoints these officers in response to your present assumption. When you envision abundance—vines lush with fruit and cellars brimming with wine—you are not signaling a wish; you are revising your state of being to include the very wealth you seek. Your imagination is not a fantasy but a builder of actual conditions, and the inner appointment of stewardship is the mechanism by which it manifests. Practice a living feeling of having already established this estate, and watch the outer garden respond.
