The Vine That Yields No Work

Neville's Inner Vision

All the vine and its burning speak to your interior life. The vine is your present instrument, the branch among trees—your current thinking, feeling, and imagination. When Ezekiel asks if wood can be used for work, he points to a truth you can feel: states of consciousness that are not yet aligned with divine purpose are useless for true manifestation. The fire that devours the ends and the middle is the inner burn of awareness that reveals what serves and what does not. In Neville's mood, the vine's fate is not punishment but a call to revision. You are not the burned wood but the observer who imagines a new arrangement—an inner tool fit for work, called forth by I AM. The question is: what state will you keep on being? By assuming the end result—your life as a vessel of divine use—and feeling it real, you awaken from the forest of old habit into the reality you desire. Exile, then return, occurs as you abandon what cannot endure and step into a consciousness that names and sustains purpose.
