Names on the Inner Mountain

Neville's Inner Vision

On the spiritual hill, Hermon is the state of consciousness you presently inhabit. The verse shows that the same peak is named differently by others; this is no geographical discrepancy but a map of inner dispositions. Sirion, Shenir, Hermon are the tides of thought your mind floats on. The true truth is that Providence guides you not by changing names but by awakening your I AM—the enduring sense of I that you are. When you understand that the variety of labels reveals the many faces of a single reality, you can relax your grip on old beliefs and listen to the still, small voice within. The practice is to assume a single, timeless name for your consciousness and to feel that you stand atop the mountain, clear and guided. Your imagination becomes the ascent; by revision and feeling-it-real, you move toward wisdom and discernment. In that inner kingdom, the mountain is one and the guiding Presence is always bright, faithful, and near.
