Inner Seas and Boundaries

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s language, this passage becomes a map of the inner governor of your life. The sea is not a mere ocean but the storm of your present circumstance—your restless emotion seeking to rush beyond its ordained place. The doors, bars, and decreed place are the boundaries you have accepted in your own consciousness; they are not imposed by weather but by the decree you hold in the I AM. When cloud and darkness wrap the scene, they remind you that imagination can veil or reveal; you birth order by choosing what your awareness will permit to move. The verse asks you to acknowledge that the waves cannot pass beyond the boundary you declare. Therefore, you can revise any situation by assuming the end: you, the I AM, decree that the sea remains where you intend, and the waves are stayed. Your inner life, not external events, determines the tides; your fervent feeling of this state makes it real until it shapes outward experience. Do not seek permission from others; know that you are the decree that binds the sea.
