Oil, Wine, and Inner Thirst

Neville's Inner Vision

I am the consciousness that makes oil within my walls and walks the winepress, yet thirst can still appear. This is not a judgment on labor, but a disclosure of inner state. In the realm of mind, wealth and lack are not separate places but movements of the same I AM. The oil and the wine can symbolize vitality and nourishment, while thirst reveals a belief that I am lacking when I identify with my outward work. When I see thirst, I am invited to shift identification from the deed to the self that thinks, I am. To change, I do not wait for conditions; I assume the feeling of fullness, the sense that abundance flows from the inside, from the one awareness that never ceases to supply. I revise the inner state until perception aligns, until the senses testify to fullness rather than thirst.
