Nourishment for the Inner Journey

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this scene as a drama of your own consciousness. Elijah is the current state of awareness that tires before the next movement. The juniper tree stands for a stubborn mood that says you must endure without nourishment. The angel who touches him is the renewing impulse of imagination, the I AM that awakens you to possibility. The cake baked on the coals and the water by his head symbolize thoughts your inner life supplies when you invite them in. When you eat and drink in imagination, you feed the energy you need to act. The second touch, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for thee, is grace reminding you that you do not move from your small sense of self, but from a larger self that has already nourished you. By accepting this inner sustenance, you revise your sense of capacity and open to a wider path. The journey is not punishment but a deliberate act of self creation, stirred by your present conviction. Trust the I AM to furnish you with nourishment, rise, and go forward in the certainty that you are already equipped for the next step.
