Scripture Focus

13And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
14And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.
Genesis 2:13-14

Biblical Context

Genesis 2:13-14 names the rivers that encircle and define the land, signaling order and provision in creation. These rivers mark the boundaries and flows of the earth in plain reading.

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville’s lens, the second, third and fourth rivers are not distant waters but currents of consciousness shaping your inner country. The Gihon, circling the land of Ethiopia, represents the wealth and vitality that surround your soul—an ever-present boundary within which life unfolds. The Hiddekel, flowing toward the east of Assyria, points you toward new territories of thought and feeling, inviting you to expand beyond familiar beliefs. The Euphrates, the fourth river, carries the fertile stream of present reality, nourishing action that flows from the I AM within. In this view, God is not a distant deity but the I AM awareness at the center of your psyche, turning disorder into order as you inhabit the land. The rivers thus become a map of your inner geography, giving you a sense of Providence and guidance that is always available when you assume it. Your task is to align with that order by reviving the feeling that this land is already yours, already organized by your awareness.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and feel the I AM presence. Imagine the Gihon encircling your inner land as abundance, the Hiddekel opening new territories of thought, and the Euphrates delivering the fertile ground of now—feel it real.
