Inner Waters and the Tree

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as a revelation within your own consciousness. The bitter waters you taste are not a fixed fate but a state waiting to be transformed. The tree shown by God is your act of attention—the willingness to insert a new image into the life you are presently calling bitter. When you cast that tree into the waters with the I AM standing behind you, the meaning shifts; the water's taste changes because your inner perception has altered. The statute and the ordinance there become an inner law you accept now, a conviction you live by rather than a vow you keep later. The test is simply your opportunity to persist in the new state until it becomes habitual. As you hold the image of the tree turning the waters sweet, you discover that redemption is not a change of scenery but a change of awareness. A covenant is renewed whenever you refuse to re-enter the old taste and choose the fresh perception that already lies within you.
