Wholeness Through the Lost Sheep

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the hundred sheep are your wholeness—your steady awareness, your abundant life. The one lost sheep stands for a belief of separation that has wandered into fear, lack, or limitation. When you hear the shepherd's pursuit, translate it into your own inner drama: consciousness restoring itself to the awareness that nothing within you can be truly apart from the Whole. The wilderness is the state of mind where attention has wandered away from the I AM, but the moment you return your focus to that I AM, the missing part dissolves. The Shepherd is your own desire to know and reclaim every fragment of your being. Mercy and grace arise as you persist in imagining the whole already present, not as something external to be obtained but as your innate condition. Salvation, then, is the revision that the sense of separation never truly existed; it was only a misperception awaiting the turn of consciousness back to unity. You are the seeker and the found; the lost sheep was only your belief returning home.
