Inner Bones, Living Hope

Neville's Inner Vision

On the inner level, Ezekiel's dry bones are not history but your own mind's abandoned states. The 'house of Israel' is the total you—your identifications, beliefs, and memories; when you say 'our bones are dried' you are naming a state of consciousness emptied of energy, feeling, and purpose. The cry 'our hope is lost' reveals a belief that life has nothing more to offer your present moment. Neville would say: you are not at the mercy of circumstance; you are always the I AM, the awareness that breathes life into form. The vision calls you to awaken from identification with those dried bones by calling forth the life-giving breath—imagination as the Spirit within. Imagine the bones snapping together, sinews forming, and flesh appearing in your inner screen, but more importantly, feel the conviction that this transformation expresses your true being. The moment you accept that you are not the bones but the consciousness that animates them, the vision becomes your practice: belief revised, fear replaced by confident presence, and a newly imagined future secured by the I AM here and now.
