Hunger Cries in the City

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the inner lens, the city becomes a field of consciousness, and the mothers are the inner supports we trust to sustain us. The cry Where is corn and wine? is the ego’s plea for provision from conditioned beliefs rather than from the I AM within. The swoon and the soul poured into the mother's bosom symbolize surrender to an image of safety, a refuge we mistake for ultimate reality. Neville's art teaches that what you name as lack is a state of mind shifting. When you realize God is the I AM, awareness—the one who notices hunger and thirst—becomes the only real feeder. Nourishment is not withheld from you by a harsher world; it is withdrawn by the thought that you are separate from abundance. So revise: you are already the fullness; the inner pantry is full; assume that the present moment contains all corn and wine. Dwell in that awareness until the feeling of fullness floods your being, and the exile in the outer streets resolves into a return within.
