Biblical Context

Amos 9:13 describes a future where labor and harvest are reordered, signaling abundance. It also speaks of mountains and hills dissolving into sweetness, symbolic of renewal within.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines do not predict a distant event but reveal how the mind can move from scarcity to a felt kingdom of plenty. The plowman overtaking the reaper is the inner movement where your deliberate thought, not external labor, births the harvest. When you hold to the image that your acts of sowing, tending, and reaping are already complete in consciousness, the apparent order of time rearranges itself. The mountains dropping sweet wine and the hills melting signify the stability of inner states dissolving resistance. In truth, the days spoken of are not weathered land but your own awareness blooming. The I AM, the living consciousness, does the reversing. Every act of effort can be seen as a signal to the imagination to finish what it began, so that the completion precedes the outward result. Stay with the sensation of fulfillment; refuse to narrate lack; let the inner scene become your outer appearance. By this, renewal is created from within, and the world yields what your inner state assumes. The new creation begins in you, here and now, in the vault of your own awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine the inner field where the plowman already overtakes the reaper. Feel the finished harvest now and dwell in the sensation of abundance as mountains drip wine.
