Inner Provision for Hard Times

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the 'bread' and the 'peril' are not merely hunger and danger outside you, but the movement of your own consciousness toward its nourishment. The 'sword of the wilderness' is the restless thinking that has convinced you supply comes only through struggle. When I say I am, you must realize you are the same I AM that had no famine; you merely have identified with the belief that lack is real. The body’s skin turning dark is the furnace of fear in the mind heating the old images until they seem solid. Yet these are only currents in consciousness, not immutable facts. If you would, you can reverse them by a simple assumption: that the Self always feeds itself from the abundant Life within. Visualize the bread of life present, feel the warmth of it, and declare: I AM well supplied; I, the I AM, lack nothing. As you dwell in that state of awareness, the outer conditions shift to match your inner perception, and the famine becomes a story you told yourself, not a law you must obey.
