Inner Bloom of the LORD

Neville's Inner Vision

Recall, dear traveler, that every verse is a portrait of your inner state. The blossom is not a season in the fields but a perception that your consciousness has awakened to the glory of the Lord within. The 'glory of Lebanon' and 'the excellency of Carmel and Sharon' are symbolic facets of your own dispositions—steadfastness, richness, spaciousness, beauty—unfolding as you attend to I AM here and now. When you inhabit the feeling of abundance, others in your life may appear to behold the divine; yet they are mirrors reflecting your awakened vision. The phrase 'they shall see the glory of the LORD' is the moment when your inner sight rests upon the unchanging reality that God is within and as your awareness. This is true worship: not ritual external, but inner acknowledgement of the presence of God and the joy that flows from it. The revelation comes as you practice imaginative revision: your mind revises lack into abundance by dwelling in the I AM and feeling the joy already real. Your imagination is the water that nourishes the soil of consciousness; let it cultivate new creation in your life.
