Inner Sabbath Of The Land

Neville's Inner Vision

Leviticus speaks not of geography but of your own consciousness. The six years of sowing and pruning are the steady acts of attention you give to a seed idea, a belief, a project. You tend it with care, prune what no longer serves, and harvest the fruit of disciplined imagination. Then comes the seventh year—the sabbath not of the land alone, but of your attention. In this pause you are not idle; you are aligning with the I AM that you are. The land rests so the soil can reveal its intrinsic abundance without your compulsive interference. When you dwell in that rest, you awaken to the truth that the harvest was never distant: it exists as potential in your consciousness, awaiting your next act of belief. The LORD here is not a distant deity but your own awareness, the I AM that implies, 'I AM' the one who tends, rests, and receives.
