Watcher of the Inner Tree

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville vantage, this vision is not a historical judgment but an inner weather report. The watcher and holy one are the I AM within you, descending from the heights of awareness to address the state of your consciousness. The tree stands for your present identity—your thoughts, pride, and habit—that must be cut down so the real you can rise. When the decree says to Hew down the tree, to shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit, you are being asked to withdraw belief from your old self and stop feeding the outward signs of that state. Yet the stump remains, bound in iron and brass, in the tender grass, dew of heaven—that is the preserving core of you, kept alive for renewal. The heart changing from man's to a beast's represents a inward reorganization, a surrender of ego to a higher current that governs according to the Spirit. Seven times passing over signifies a period of persistent imagination until your new state—humble, faithful, alive in the divine—takes root and governs your life. The result is an inner kingdom radiating outward as your reality.
