Isaiah 35 Inner Wilderness Blossoms

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Isaiah’s lines the wilderness is a state of consciousness, a mind that believes nothing can grow. The desert’s dryness is the memory of limitation until you fix your attention on the I AM in you, and you feel the truth as if it were already so. When you assume the blossom and the joy, you are not conjuring scenery; you are changing the inner atmosphere, and the outer scene must follow. The glory of Lebanon, Carmel, and Sharon becomes your inner light: you see the Lord's glory because you have chosen to wear the I AM as your skin and breath. This is a shift from want to plenitude, from waiting to realizing that God is the consciousness that animates you. Practice is not hoping for change; it is openly deciding that the mind is already transformed, and walking through the barren place as if it were a garden, hearing singing in the air, feeling abundance rise within. As you persist in this assumption, the desert blooms and you taste the joy God has prepared.
