Elijah at Cherith Brook

Neville's Inner Vision

Elijah’s hiding place is not a map on a trail but a state of consciousness. When the command comes: Go east and hide by the brook, it invites you to turn toward the rising awareness within and withdraw from the noise of outward striving. The brook becomes your imagined current of supply, the ravens your unseen messengers delivering nourishment from the I AM that you truly are. Notice that obedience precedes provision: by acting on the word in the present belief, Elijah aligns with the living God within. In Neville's psychology, the I AM is your true self whose commands are inner convictions. When you dwell by the brook in imagination, you are not seeking nourishment but recognizing it as already given. The miraculous feeding comes through feeling the truth that you are sustained by the life that animates you now, regardless of appearances. Trust is not belief about something far off but the immediate sensation of being supplied by your own divine nature. The outer sign of rain or ravens mirrors an inner assurance that your consciousness has found its true home.
