Biblical Context

Neville's Inner Vision

In this narrative the man of God reveals the inner governor of your life—the I AM, your continuous consciousness. ‘Where fell it?’ is a prompt to identify where lack lodged in your mind, a belief that you have lost something you still inwardly possess. The stick you cut and cast into the water is your deliberate act of imagination—an intervention of consciousness that moves belief through the currents of feeling. When your inner state aligns with the truth that you already possess your legitimate good, the thing thought lost returns as an experiment of your own awareness—the iron swims. Providence and mercy are not distant powers but the steady movement of your own consciousness toward wholeness. Healing and restoration appear as natural consequences of a mental assumption patiently held as real. Practice becomes your confirmation: dwell in the feeling of ownership, and believe that the return is already yours, here and now.

Practice This Now

Locate the exact place in your mind where you feel lack; take a simple symbol (a stick) and cast it into the inner water of consciousness, affirming, 'I am whole; what is mine is mine now,' then rest in the feeling of restoration as if it has already occurred.
