Desert Heath Inner Vision

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inward eye, Jeremiah’s desert heath is a state of consciousness, not a geography. The verse describes a man who believes good cannot reach him, thus he does not notice when good arrives. The parched places and salt land symbolize a mind habitually starved of nourishment—memories, doubts, and disbelief that keep vitality away. In Neville’s terms, you are not at the mercy of external exile; you are living in a self-imposed condition of absence. To awaken is to revise this interior scene: assume the state that already receives, the I AM that perceives and is aware of every good coming to you. See the moment of good as coming from within, and allow your feelings to align with that fulfilled state. The inner observer—the authentic you—invites rain to fall on the dry ground of consciousness. When you hold this new image long enough, the barren land yields to abundance, and you walk within a field nourished by your own inner belief.
