Oil Rivers of Inner Waters

Neville's Inner Vision

Egypt in Ezekiel stands for a fixed state of mind—the pride in outer power, pomp, and the apparent security of the visible world. The sword of Babylon is not a weapon against others, but a sign of an inner movement that dissolves the belief that appearances grant lasting reality. When I acknowledge that inner force, the multitude of that state falls away and the pomp of Egypt is seen as memory rather than life. The beasts beside the great waters represent disruptive thoughts and appetites that trouble the waters of awareness; their destruction clears the current of feeling. Then the divine decree— I will make their waters deep, and cause their rivers to run like oil— becomes a metaphor for a new vibrational state: inner currents deepen and smooth to abundance, calm, and life-giving flow. This transformation is not punishment but a gentle revision of consciousness by the I AM within. As I align with this truth, the outer drama yields; the inner kingdom reorders itself so what was feared or worshipped externally loses sovereignty. To attempt it, simply refuse the old story and assume the new state, here and now, and feel it real.
