One Seed, One Harvest

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of 'planteth' and 'watereth' as two aspects of the same inner activity. The speaker does not distinguish the doers in the external drama; in truth, both are expressions of the I AM within. Your inner life plants the seed of possibility, and it waters it with faith, persistence, and gratitude. The unity proclaimed means that there is no competition in heaven; every act of consciousness contributes to the same living field. Reward is not a trophy handed from outside but a natural result of inner labor—the evidence of a shift in your state of consciousness. When you stop comparing yourself to others and align with the conviction 'I am the I AM,' you become both planter and waterer, and the harvest follows as your inner realization becomes your outward circumstances. The verse invites you to take responsibility for your imaginal acts, knowing they are the causal acts by which you shape your world. Trust that your consistent inner work—belief, feeling, and imaginative acts—produces reward in its own season, according to the intensity and fidelity of your labor.
