Neville's Inner Vision

Within the I AM of your consciousness, Deuteronomy 3:16-17 is not about geography but about your own inner territory. The words 'I gave' announce a settled state within you, a portion of awareness allotted to two aspects of your nature—your will and your feeling—each with its own border: the valley, the border to the river, the plain, the Jordan, the sea. These are inner terrains, not external maps; they mark the edges where one mood or belief ends and another begins. Providence is your own ongoing self-guidance, a trust that your life is stewarded by a larger sense of order. When you dwell in this assumption, you stop chasing outcomes and begin recognizing the land of possibilities you already inhabit. Your consciousness expands toward the edges of perception, yet stays within the borders you have knowingly set, allowing gratitude and allegiance to the Self to guide every gesture. The borders symbolize alignment, faith, and the liberty to create from within.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Sit quietly, picture your inner land as already granted, and say, 'I have already received this land within my consciousness; I am the I AM.' Then feel the reality of those boundaries as you proceed through your day.
