The Inner Navy of Provision

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the ships not as external merchants, but as states of consciousness gliding the inner sea. The king’s navy is the disciplined capital of awareness roaming the vast, unseen waters of imagination. The treasures they haul—gold, silver, ivory, apes, peacocks—are the vivid significances your I AM can call forth when you dwell in a certain mood of being: a sense of plenty, beauty, wisdom, and varied experience. The two fleets, Tharshish and Hiram, symbolize the cooperative faculties within you—risk, memory, craft, and exalted taste—working together to enrich the inner and outer life. The cadence of “once in three years” becomes a reminder that abundance arrives in regular, steady seasons when you maintain the assumption that you are already prosperous. Your task is to accept a present-tense reality: I AM wealth, I AM provision, I AM the shipmaster of my inner seas. Then, revise any scene of lack, and feel the sea’s motion as if the cargo were already landed on your shores. Do this with feeling, and the visible world will follow the inward shipping.
