Crumbs of Faith

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through Neville's law of consciousness, this scene is not about place or person, but about states of mind. 'Let the children first be filled' names the higher awareness that assumes fullness, while 'the dogs under the table' points to the lower sense that fears lack. The woman's reply—'Yes, Lord: yet the dogs eat the crumbs'—becomes a model of faith that refuses denial; she recognizes oneness with the whole and receives the crumbs as proof of supply. In Neville's terms, crumbs are not trivia but tangible tokens of grace that slip into the lower state when imagination holds the I AM as the sole presence. The outer exchange mirrors an inner shift: when I stop judging the order of needs and rest in I AM, abundance reveals itself as subtending every moment. My consciousness becomes the table; the crumbs are nourishment; and the sense of separation dissolves as I claim, here and now, that I AM feeding myself with infinite generosity.
