The Vine of Inner Use

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the vine as your state of consciousness—not a mere plant, but the very source of vitality. Ezekiel asks, in effect, what use a thing has when severed from its natural design? In Neville's language, the forest is the field of your experiences, while the wood and pin symbolize outward means and attachments. If wood cannot accomplish work, then the instrument of change lies not in external tools but in your inner assumption. You are not the tool to be hung on circumstances; you are the awareness that makes any situation usable. The question presses you to revise the inner premise: What if your vine is greater than the forest around you? What if your capacity to create is not limited by circumstance but by your willingness to believe you are the I AM—the living, imagining consciousness that projects results? So shift from asking how to use this to declaring I am the source; I make this work by my state. Your inner vine bears fruit into your world through revision and feeling it real, here and now.
