Inner Pitfalls Of Ecclesiastes

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the pit, the hedge, the stones, and the wood not as outer traps but as inner states you carry within your own consciousness. To dig a pit is to imagine a future danger you are inviting into your life; to break a hedge is to disregard guardrails that keep your experience orderly; to remove stones is to destabilize the foundation you stand upon; to cleave wood is to invite fracture into your daily rhythm. When you are convinced that trouble comes from outside, you are already inside the trap you fear. The remedy is not more effort in the world but a revision of your inner state. Align with the I AM—the steady awareness that creates your world—and declare a new premise: 'I am safe; I am intact; all events obey the sovereign order of my consciousness.' Feel this revised state until it feels as real as any memory. With your attention thus fixed in a single, creative center, the supposed causes fall into line with your inner reality, and the outer scene reorganizes to reflect your inner order. You do not escape consequences by battling them outside; you awaken by assuming a truer state within.
