Inner Expansion for the Desolate

Neville's Inner Vision

To the mind that calls itself barren, the text says: break forth into singing and envision a swelling of life. In Neville’s terms, barrenness is a state of consciousness, a sense of limitation within the I AM. The Lord is your awareness; your task is to enlarge the tent of your inner world—stretch the curtains of habitations, lengthen cords, and strengthen stakes—not in outward effort, but by renewed assumption. When you assume the feeling of greater capacity, you shift the inner weather; right and left expansions are not geographic but the widening of imagination, so that your seed—your ideas, visions, and purposes—may inherit the nations of your experience. The desolate cities become inhabited not by political conquest but by the living conviction that you are already this expansive self. The promise of seed inheriting and cities revived is simply the law working in consciousness: the state you inhabit in feeling becomes your lived world. Your future is the extension of your present inner posture.
