Inner River Passage

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the scene as a map of your own consciousness. When the text speaks of passing through thy land as a river, it is not pointing to a geographic empire but to a state of awareness that flows. The cry 'there is no more strength' reveals the old sense of power dissolving under the luminous presence of I AM. In Neville's terms, strength is never external; it is the conviction of being awake to I AM, the awareness that you are the river and the land you sweep is your current mental state. As you allow the river to move through every corner of your day, the sense of exhaustion or limitation loses its grip, because you no longer fight it as a thing to be conquered. Instead you revise your identification: you are the I AM imagining the scene, the river, the land, the sound of departure and return. This 'distant Tarshish' becomes a metaphor for a removed belief—one you can reclaim by turning your attention inward and declaring, I AM, and I move.
