Inner Restoration for the Flock

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Ezekiel’s vision, I AM stands not as a distant god but as your own unconditioned awareness gathering every dispersed image of life into a single land of peace. The country, mountains, and rivers are symbols of a consciousness that can be settled, nourished, and rested in. When I say, I will feed my flock and cause them to lie down, I am describing a state you inhabit by imagination alone: you stop chasing lack, and you rest in a good pasture of belief. The 'lost' and 'driven away' are memories or habits you once mistook for you; by inward revision you bind up the broken and strengthen the sick with a gentle, confident touch of awareness. The line about destroying the fat and the strong points to egoic excess that must yield to new discernment; through disciplined imagination you are fed with judgment—the clear, just direction that sustains a thriving inner life. This is the restoration that is always available when you answer with awareness rather than circumstance.
