Boundaries That Bind the Waters

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the waters are not only the literal seas of the earth but the living feelings within you. The verse declares that God has compassed the waters with bounds—a sign that order and safety arise when awareness draws a circle around the flux of thought and emotion. In Neville's terms, the I AM, your essential consciousness, places those boundaries, and your world forms inside the circle you allow. When you are aware that nothing moves outside your inner border unless you permit it, you still the storm by choosing the boundary first. The day and night are the cycles of attention you experience within, and they persist as long as you maintain the boundary of imagination that holds the inner sea in check. Your responsibility is not to fight the waves but to feel and trust the boundary that was placed within you, the I AM circle that keeps order and reveals providence in every moment. As you revise any sense of chaos into order by assuming the boundary now and feeling it as real, you see the world around you shift to reflect your settled awareness.
