Inner Cycles of Birth and Death

Neville's Inner Vision

To the attentive heart, Ecclesiastes 3:2 speaks not of outer events but of inner seasons. There is no external timepiece deciding when you are born or die; these are movements within your own consciousness. When you affirm a 'time to be born,' you call forth a fresh sense of self and permit an old limitation to fall away. The 'time to plant' is the act of imagining a seed in the soil of your mind, giving it attention, feeling, and expectancy. The 'time to pluck up that which is planted' is the release of fear, memory, or identity that has outlived its usefulness. All these cycles occur in the I AM you call God, the constant awareness that witnesses every change. Your work is to linger in the end-state you desire, and let the current state yield to it. Do not chase other people or circumstances; attend to your inner picture until it feels inevitable, and then the outer scene aligns with the harvest you have sown. In this way, life’s two times—the yesterday that dies and the tomorrow that grows—are one continuous act of creation in consciousness.
