Inner Crossing Through Waters

Neville's Inner Vision

Habakkuk’s cry is not about distant armies but about the condition of your own mind. The staves striking through the head of his villages symbolize the inward piercing of every scattered belief that keeps you small. The whirlwind that scatters you is the old imagination blown away by a higher assumption. The great waters are the turbulent feelings and thoughts that threaten to overwhelm; but they are only currents within your consciousness. The line 'thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses' becomes a declaration: you, the I AM, walk through the sea with the disciplined movements of your imagination—your inner horses—moving through chaos with quiet power. The horses denote rapid, sure acts of awareness that carry you from fear to certainty. Providence and salvation appear as your internal state when you realize God is within you. The outer world may roar, but your inner sight remains untouched as you claim: I am the presence that traverses the storm. When you restore this image, the 'devouring' and the storm dissolve into peace.
