Inner Waters, Outer Pride

Neville's Inner Vision

To the eye, Damascus rivers seem stronger; to the mind of faith, the true waters are the awareness that you are the I AM. The verse asks, what river do you trust for cleansing? The answer lies not in externals but in a change of consciousness: the inner Jordan washing away the belief that healing comes from place, ritual, or preference. Naaman's rage is the ego's recoil when told to perform a simple act in a humbler stream. Yet the invitation is a direct command to revise your assumption: stand in your own consciousness as the healer, and allow the apparent problem to dissolve by the simple law of awareness. When you align with the truth that you are already whole, the "washing" occurs as a mental act—an inner consecration that nothing external can enhance or diminish. The outer world reflects your inner state; therefore, to be 'clean' is to know yourself as the I AM present, not to chase better waters. Embrace the quiet lesson: healing is a shift in belief, not a change of scenery.
