The Inner Storm, The Landing

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider Jonah as a state within you, not a man upon a boat. The mariners and their rowing are your outward efforts to fix results, while the tempest embodies the subconscious belief that leads you to fear loss or change. They push toward land, insisting on a tangible resolution, yet the sea 'wrought' against them because the present inner condition has not yet aligned with the end you seek. In Neville’s view, Providence is your own I AM—the awareness that already holds the completed state. Until you revise the inner assumption, until you feel the end as real here and now, the storm will continue to press outwardly. The lesson is not to abandon effort but to change the subject of the mind: assume you are already on the shore, that your desire is accomplished, and feel the quiet certainty of that truth flooding the senses. When the inner land is known, the sea subsides and the boat can land without struggle. Practice rests in you; trust the I AM, and let your imagination render the landing.
