Hidden Growth of the Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective, the kingdom is not out there but an inner state of consciousness you cultivate. The mustard seed is a single, disciplined assumption planted in your mind's garden; as you dwell in the I AM, you cast the seed and watch it rise, drawing all conditions, even birds (ideas, opportunities), to rest in its branches. The tree is your living sense of Self expanding, providing shelter and presence to your experiences. The leaven represents a subtle but pervasive shift in feeling and belief—imagination activated until the whole meal (your life) is leavened with that kingdom. Providence is your own inner guidance; God is the I AM within you, the awareness that notices the movement from seed to tree to shelter. Trust that growth happens as you remain faithful to the feeling of the wish fulfilled, allowing the inner movement to out-picture in outer events. The parables invite you to revise, assume, and feel the reality of a state where God dwells as your present awareness.
