Rest in the Inner Wilderness

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Isaiah scene, all that is pictured—the desert, the island, the satyr, the screech owl, and the vultures—are states of consciousness appearing as outer creatures. The 'rest' they find is not a fraction of land but a mental harbor—the quiet assurance of I AM, the awareness that oversees the storm. When you imagine, you write the landscape; by sustaining a new feeling you bring those creatures into harmony with your peace. The beasts gather because you have entertained fear, longing, or struggle; they retreat or nest as you hold a different inner posture: you are safe, you are watched by your own consciousness. The owls and vultures become thoughts and memories; their gathering under a shade becomes the moment you realize you can shelter under the shadow of the I AM, rather than under external circumstance. The vision invites you to revise your inner weather until your inner world is tranquil enough to host the outer world without alarm.
