Pisgah Vision: Inner Land

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the petition lies my own request to cross into a higher state of consciousness. The Jordan I face is the boundary of my present self, and the good land signals a settled, abundant way of knowing. God’s reply to Moses—let it suffice thee and speak no more of this matter—reminds me that outer crossing must await inner readiness. Pisgah stands as the vantage point of awareness; when I ascend there, I behold the four quarters of my mental field—west, north, south, and east—each area already imagined into the fulfilled state. The message is that I can see the land in imagination, and yet my first crossing comes only when my inner conviction aligns with that vision. I am not punished for my longing; I am invited to refine the state I claim until it is truly present in me. So I practice by assuming the wish fulfilled now, revising any lingering lack, and dwelling in the felt sense that I am already there.
