Water in the Desert: Trust Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Exodus 17:2 is not about a drought outside but a drought in the mind. The people are states of desire asking for water from Moses, the outward form of perception within you. Moses represents the living idea, the inner ruler of perception. When they chide and tempt the LORD, they are testing the law of assumption itself. In Neville's terms, the external scene mirrors inner habit patterns: seeking supply from without keeps the stream blocked; once you align with the I AM and assume that water exists within, you dissolve the sense of lack. The word chide is an inner conversation that argues against the already established truth of your inner reality. The act of drinking water becomes a symbol for drinking in the reality you already are the fountain of life within. The inner guidance does not deny the need but redirects attention to the source, the I AM consciousness that supplies all. The lesson is to retire the outward observer and enter into felt certainty that I am the source of water within you, here and now.
