Inner Diet Of Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the sea in the verse as the inner state of your own awareness. What you allow to swim in your mind becomes your life. The fins and scales symbolize the boundaries you consciously erect around your thoughts and feelings. When you name certain images as edible—acceptable for your inner appetite—you are practicing a discipline of discernment. The I AM, your true self, does not punish; it responds to the quality of your focus. If you permit fear, doubt, or blame to drift through your mental seas, you invite inner uncleanness in the form of disturbing feelings and scattered results. By deciding, in one deliberate act, that only those thoughts which nourish your divine nature may enter, you organize your consciousness into a clean, living boundary. This is not a ritual of exterior law but a practice of inner alignment: you become the boundary that preserves vitality, directing your energy toward what uplifts, clarifies, and harmonizes your life. Each moment of revision—reframing a thought, returning to I AM, and refusing the unclean image—refines your inner climate, so what you live outwardly is the natural fruit of a refined inner diet.
