Hidden Riches Of The Inner Earth

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider darkness as the unawakened state of consciousness, and the 'stones of darkness' as the stubborn beliefs that veil your riches. The 'shadow of death' is the fear that clings to the old you, not some outside doom. When the inward flood breaks forth from the inhabitant, it is the cleansing movement of awareness washing away what you have outgrown. The earth yielding bread signifies that provision begins in your own mind: what you claim with feeling becomes your daily bread. Under it is turned up as it were fire—the hidden energy of desire ready to be transformed by imagination. The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and it hath dust of gold: your enduring insights and refined values lie buried in the ordinary, awaiting revision and perception. The phrase invites you to trust that all supply resides in your inner terrain; with attention and conviction you can draw it forth. The I AM, God within, surveys this inner landscape and calls forth order, nourishment, and treasure from it here and now.
