Inner Harvest of Isaiah 17

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner scriptures are not about foreign armies, but about your own states of consciousness. When Isaiah says the cities are forsaken and the fortress ceases from Ephraim, hear this as the spirit’s letting go of outer supports. The ‘glory of Jacob’ becoming thin is the ego’s polishing away—an inward thinning that invites greater awareness rather than sorrow. In that spacious moment, you are invited to turn from external signs of power to the I AM that underpins all perception. The harvest imagery becomes a map of your inner reaping: not to possess more stuff, but to notice what remains when you stop clinging to what once seemed secure. The ears gathered with the arm and the few berries on the upper branches point to the sufficiency of the present moment, a lean field that still yields when tended in consciousness. Make the assumption that the end is already done; feel the I AM as your constant abundance, and let imagination do the rest. Trust that the LORD God of Israel speaks within you; the mind can harvest even in lean times because imagination creates reality.
