Inner Stone and Timber Speak

Neville's Inner Vision

Recall that God is I AM, the awareness in which all pictures of stone and timber arise. In this verse, the wall is the boundary of your present self-image, the stone a fixed belief you have hammered into that boundary, and the timber the habit and support structure of your life. When Habakkuk says the stone shall cry out and the beam shall answer, he is not describing distant fate but an inner experiment: your cry signals a state you still inhabit, and the beam’s answer reveals the state that life must reflect back to you. The drama is a mirror of your inner assumptions. If you linger in the cry of limitation, the beam will answer with the same limitation in form. But by turning your attention to the I AM within and choosing a different end, you reverse the dialogue. You hear the stone cry out in protest, then loosen its grip by imagining the beam offering certainty, support, and justice. The key is to feel it real now, to dwell in the conviction that your inner state creates your outer world, and to revise from the end you desire.
