Tongue of Dual Waters

Neville's Inner Vision

Your God is not distant, but the I AM within your breathing. The words you utter are the water flowing from the fountain of your consciousness. When you bless God and curse a neighbor, you are naming two opposed states within the same mind, and the water becomes salt in your own mouth. The scripture asks you to resolve that contradiction by aligning your inner weather with one divine note: the likeness of God in all men. If you persist in dividing your heart, the water remains undrinkable, sweet somewhere and bitter somewhere else. But when you claim the unity of all life as your reality, your tongue ceases to split its stream; your phrases rise from an unbroken sense of love, and others become images of the Father within you. You are the imaginer of your world; change the imagination and you change the world you hear and taste. Practice this alignment as daily discipline, and your speech becomes a faithful instrument of your inner state and your true nature as God incarnate.
