Ark Crossing Inner Jordan

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the ark of the covenant as the I AM within you, moving before your waking attention. The twelve men gathered from every tribe are the twelve faculties of your mind—faith, imagination, memory, will, desire, perception, reason, assumption, feeling, purpose, attention, and conviction—united under one Presence. When the soles of the priests’ feet rest in the waters of Jordan, your ordinary sense of separation reverberates back into a deeper state, and the river withdraws, standing up in a heap as if to bow to a higher order. The miracle is not a sudden change in external waters, but a rearrangement of your inner state: a felt-reality that you are already where you wish to be. As you dwell in that state—the ark leading, you following—you dissolve the sense of lack and allow events to align with your assumption. This is covenant loyalty: obedience to the I AM, trust in its life, and the painterly work of imagination that parts the currents of doubt and reveals your true territory.
