Rooted in Inner Waters

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the verse as a picture of consciousness settled in vitality. The root spreading by the waters is your inner awareness fed by life itself; the branch, bathed in dew all night, is the dream and the body alive by the constant touch of spirit. In Neville's language, every root and leaf is a state of consciousness you inhabit. The water is the stream of I AM that nourishes from within; the dew is the gentle, nightly immersion of awareness in the divine presence, keeping growth intact even while you sleep. When you assume and feel it real that you are thus nourished, your outer conditions answer from that inner life: guidance appears, Providence rearranges circumstances to fit your inner state, and renewal follows. The verse invites a new creation: a mind consciously watered by life and blessed by dew of inspiration. The future becomes present by the simple act of supposing the truth you want until it is your lived sensation.
