Near in Mouth, Far in Heart

Neville's Inner Vision

In the verse I hear a plant that has taken root and bears fruit, yet the one who planted it is not the heart but the mouth. This is a state of consciousness where outward forms flourish while the reins of true motive lie hidden from the surface. The I AM is nearby in words but far from the inner governor, so your self-feeling remains distant from its guiding power. The remedy is to shift your inner assumption: affirm that the entire life is rooted in God-consciousness and that thoughts, words, and deeds arise from the same I AM. When you imagine yourself as that I AM—center, whole, and present—the distant reins come into alignment and the fruit becomes natural expression. The change is not sought in outward form but awakened within; you revise your sense of self until inner motive and outward speech walk hand in hand, and your life begins to reflect your revised sense of reality.
