Inner Desolation, Inner Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the cry from Heshbon to Nimrim is not a note in the weather but a note in consciousness. In Neville's terms, borders and places are inner dispositions; the speaking voices are the movements of awareness when it believes it is separate from its Source. The 'heifer of three years old' suggests energy that is young and alive yet yoked to limitation by a false sense of self. The desolation of Nimrim's waters is the felt drought of streams that once nourished your inner life; it arises when imagination has presumed distance from God. But in this scripture, the desolation is not a verdict but a signal to revise: return your attention to I AM, to the living awareness that is always present. When you imagine from the state 'I AM the source of all,' the cry dissolves into a new internal climate—the waters renew, the land is fertile, and the exile gives way to an inner return. The verse thus becomes prophecy of your own consciousness awakened by the imagination you wield.
