Awaken the Inner Oven

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the verse as a map of your inner states. The 'heart' is your feelings, and the 'oven' is the warmth you keep feeding with thought. When you have 'made ready' a furnace, you are not punishing others but confirming a habitual mood that waits to flare when stirred by circumstance. The 'baker' sleeps through the night, meaning you have not actively tended the fire with attention; yet in the morning the fire 'burneth as a flaming fire'—the outer life suddenly reflects the inner flame. Neville teaches that you are not ruled by external conditions; you are the I AM, the awareness that imagines. If you revise your assumption now, declaring, 'My heart is turned toward light; I awaken to my true state,' the morning fire becomes a heat of clarity, justice, and purity moving through your world. The judgment is not punishment but a revelation of what you have assumed long enough, a signal to change your inner state and, thereby, change your outward experience.
