From Dust to Inner Life

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 3:19 opens a doorway into your inner state. The sweat on the brow signals the mental friction of identifying with form; the ground represents the inner soil of consciousness out of which you think you eat. Dust is the old belief that you are separate from the life that sustains you. In the I AM, you are already supported; labor is but the outward drama by which you forget that you are the living idea of God. The curse becomes a reminder that you may awaken from the dream by treating the next scene as a thought within your own mind. When you move your center from the body's needs to the awareness that you are the one Life, bread becomes a symbol of inner order, not the result of struggle alone. Mortality is not punishment but the invitation to return to the source, to rearrange your inner state until what you call 'world' obediently follows your revised sense of self. Your true self is the imperishable I AM; everything else is form that answers to your consciousness.
