Inner Waters of Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah 35:6-7 speaks not of distant weather but of the inner climate already present within you. The lame man leaping, the tongue of the dumb singing, the waters breaking in the wilderness all are descriptions of a state of consciousness that you awaken into. When you attend to I AM as your own awareness, limitation fades and possibility takes its place. The parched ground becomes a pool because your inner vision feeds life into your skin and nerves; the dragons' lair gives way to grass with reeds and rushes because fear is displaced by trust in your abiding vitality. This is salvation as inner renewal: the body follows the mind that believes it is already whole. Do not chase healing as an event; assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, and let your feeling fix the form. Imagination creates reality; therefore practice the assumption until it feels natural, until the wilderness is watered by your settled sense of life.
