Inner Ground and Fruitful Hearing

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Luke 8:7-8 the field is your own mind, and the seed is a single intelligent impulse—an idea, a desire, a truth you would have become real. The thorns represent your present distractions—fears, habits, and identifications that choke the newborn awareness. When you identify with lack or limitation, the seed strains in a crowded soil and yields nothing. But when you attend to the I AM, the ground is prepared to receive. The good ground is not a place separate from you, but a state of receptivity, certainty, and unwavering attention. As you imagine, you align with the inner law of consciousness: what you accept as true about yourself grows in your own inner field. If your attention refuses to feed the thorns, they wither, and the seed expands, sending forth fruit, a hundredfold. The cry 'He that hath ears to hear, let him hear' becomes an invitation to awaken: hear through the sense of I AM, and make your experience correspond to the truth you entertain.
