Inner Hearing of the Land

Neville's Inner Vision

Listen not to the alarm of outward circumstance, but to the inward state that names it. 'Old men' and 'inhabitants' are figures of your fixed attitudes and fleeting feelings, the two voices inside you that think the land stands apart from you. Joel's question, 'Hath this been in your days?', is a reminder that time is a dream your awareness projects; the real question is what you believe about yourself in the moment. If you imagine crisis, you are imagining a self that fears change; if you imagine unity, you are already the I AM in command of the inner weather. The call to hear is an invitation to revise your memory of separation, to stop identifying with weakness and to align with the timeless, indivisible consciousness that creates every scene. When you attend to this inner hearing, you discover the land you inhabit is your own consciousness held in your attention, and healing begins as you shift the frame of belief from 'neighbor-land' to 'I AM' presence.
