Nourishment Through Inner Labor

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider this as a spiritual truth about your inner life: the 'eat' Paul mentions is nourishment supplied by the state of your consciousness. If a man refuses to work in the realm of imagination, he refuses the moments of alignment that feed his being; he starves not from bread but from the inner imagination that sustains him. In this reading you are always the I AM, not a separate entity. The command is a reminder that your inner economy requires labor—not to toil in vanity, but to steadily form a new self-concept. The work is the disciplined imagining that you already possess the life you desire. When you assume the feeling of your wish fulfilled, you perform the inner labor and the 'eating' follows as your experiences unfold. Therefore, do not blame others or history; fix your attention on the inner act: declare yourself as the one who works, creates, and provides, here and now, within the one reality that matters—the inner reality. Nourishment comes from the certainty you cultivate, not from external conditions.
