The Inner Land: Mourning To Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

The land is your inner state. When you dwell in fear, guilt, or unhealed hurts, your consciousness impoverishes; like the beasts and birds, your feeling life slows, and the sea lifelessness follows. The judgment Hosea speaks is not a distant decree upon a geography; it is a timeless law of consciousness: you are the I AM, and imagination is the soil in which your life grows. To shift the condition, you must reverse the image by assuming a different inner state. See the land mourn because you have believed a tale of separation; then re-imagine the whole scene as refreshed by your renewed sense of I AM. Do not seek to change the outer animals or seas; instead, awaken a feeling of fullness, gratitude, and oneness replacing the old mood. As you hold the conviction 'I am', and 'I can and do perceive from the I AM', the outer world begins to come into harmony with that inner radiance.
