Beasts Without Pasture Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To the Neville reader, Joel 1:18 reveals that the groaning beasts are your own states of consciousness, cries of fear and lack when you have forgotten the I AM that sustains you. Perplexity arises when you identify with thoughts of scarcity; the pasture is not found in the world outside, but in the clear, nourished imagination of your inner awareness. When attention clings to lack, your inner field becomes barren and life mirrors that drought. Yet the I AM within you is the living pasture, the sustaining energy that can be claimed here and now. By shifting your assumption from lack to abundance—feeling, for a moment, that you are already nourished—you redraw the landscape of your experience. The desolate flock speaks not of punishment but of forgotten identity. The cure is simple: dwell in the truth that you are provided for by God within, and let vision precede reality. In this turning, judgment softens and Providence flows as a steady stream of images confirming your harvest.
