Inner Kingdom Feast

Neville's Inner Vision

That simple blessing spoken at table is a note to your own consciousness: Blessed is the one who eats bread in the kingdom of God. The man at table represents a state of expectancy you entertain when you dare to dwell in awareness. The kingdom of God is not a distant land but the air of inner recognition; the bread is the nourishment of imagination richly accepted as present. To the self who has imagined into a future feast, the waiting blessing becomes your current sensation: you are eating now in the kingdom. Every time you assume that the kingdom is already yours, you are seasoning your meals with the wine of faith; you feed on the sense of fullness until it saturates your being. The blessing is not a distant prophecy but a present invitation to revise your sense of self from lack to abundance, from absence to presence. When you stand in the state of I am as the eater in the kingdom, all else aligns; the feast is your dwelling place.
