Elijah's Threefold Resurrection

Neville's Inner Vision

To the inner reader, this scene is not about a distant miracle but a drama of your own consciousness awakening. The child is the alive intention within you, the life that seems dissolved by fear or fatigue. Elijah, standing in the I AM, does not plead once and stop; he returns to the act of placing himself over the issue three times—a symbolic threefold rhythm of belief, feeling, and release. Each stretching moves the inner state closer to the energy that gives life. The Lord he cries to is the ever-present awareness, the I AM that you are. The prayer asks that the soul, that inner vitality, be drawn back into form and activity within your awareness. When you persist in this imaginative act, you are not forcing a miracle upon a stubborn world; you are revising the inner assumption you inhabit. The revival you seek already exists in God, but it must be assumed into your current state until it feels real. Thus the threefold stretch is your practice of letting go and affirming life until your inner weather changes.
