Inner Seed, Divine Increase

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this not as a history of teachers and methods, but as a parable for your own consciousness. The planting and the watering are inner movements of your mind—first a taking hold of a vision, then steady attention to it—yet both are powerless to produce anything unless the I AM within animates growth. 'God giveth the increase' points to the sole source of fruit: the indwelling God, your true self, the awareness that makes all outcomes real. When you credit a person, a plan, or a technique with the harvest, you have forgotten the nature of creation. Growth arises only when you dwell in the feeling that the unseen seed has been nourished by divine life, and the apparent world conforms to that reality. Therefore, walk humbly in faith: continue your practical acts, yet regard them as expressions of Providence, not sources. The grace you seek is already within your consciousness, waiting as the I AM to be awakened into functioning as increase in your life. Your obedience is to the inner state that corresponds to the finished manifestation.
