Inner Birth and Renewal

Neville's Inner Vision

From this Job line I see the animals as inner dispositions obeying the law of life within me. They bow themselves, not to any outside force, but to the Life I AM—the I AM that is my awareness calling forth a new season. Their bringing forth of young is the rising of a new state of consciousness, born from the quiet confidence that life properly nourishes itself. The casting out of sorrow is the release of old beliefs that have worn the heart thin. When the young grow and feed on the corn of my imagination, they symbolize thoughts and feelings that sustain me, ideas that are nourished by the certainty that I exist as the source. They go forth and do not return to the former state, showing that once a vivid imaginal trust is planted, the old condition cannot reestablish itself. Providence is not a distant event but an inward order of the soul. Renewal is the natural movement of a mind that has embraced I AM as its primary fact.
