Inner Vineyard, Outer Fate

Neville's Inner Vision

This scene is not a history lesson but a translation of your inner life. Ahab stands for the surface man, moved by appetite and the belief that life is scarce and can be owned by force. Naboth's vineyard is a cherished thought-form, a belief about what you deserve. Naboth's death marks the moment your old story dies when you refuse to own it within; the 'word of the LORD' that Elijah brings is the inner command to meet Ahab where his dream becomes an inner consequence. The decree that dogs will lick the blood is a vivid symbol of natural cause and effect in your mind: when you attempt to possess at the expense of another, you awaken a law that returns the act to you. The cure is simple: turn your attention to the I AM that occupies the throne of your mind, align your desire with divine justice, and allow your imagination to do the possessing in harmony with all beings. In such alignment, possession is not by conquest but by the rightful healing of consciousness.
