Pruning Before Harvest: Inner Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of every event in your life as a symptom in the inner garden of your mind. Isaiah's pre-harvest pruning is a description of how God—your I AM, your present awareness—acts upon belief. When the bud is perfect, the moment when your new idea has fully formed in your imagination, the pruning hooks of consciousness move: sprigs of doubt and branches of attachment are gently removed so nothing repels the coming abundance. Judgment here is inner accountability, not punishment; it is you, as the I AM, choosing to release what no longer serves the fruitful life you envision. By trimming away sour grapes—the residue of bitterness, regret, or lack—you prevent their sour fruit from ripening in your world. The result is renewal: the old self is pruned back, death of limitation, and the return of a fresh, fertile possibility. Exile is simply moving from a worn-out state to a greater one, and return is the harvest your imagination now manifests. Practice with the simple certainty that you are the gardener of your experience, and your harvest will follow your inner revisions.
