Inner Sabbath of Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the land as the inner field of your mind. The six years of sowing and gathering are your constant thoughts and actions—plans, judgments, cravings—pressed into form by imagination. The seventh year, however, invites you to rest, to stand still within awareness and let the mind be fed by its own quiet I AM. In this inner Sabbath, the 'poor of thy people' are nourished: the neglected aspects, the tenderness, and the seeds that long for gentleness are finally allowed to be sustained by the calm presence that perceives without forcing. The 'beasts of the field'—the stray impulses and external conditions—eat what remains when you stop driving the imagery. Your home, your vineyard, your oliveyard are not external claims but inner leased assets returning to rest; when you let the thoughts rest, the subconscious reorders, and what you need shows up without strain. This is not neglect but a higher order of stewardship: abiding faith that abundance is already in the I AM you are.
