Rooting the Inner Seed

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the seed as a truth planted within your own consciousness, not a distant doctrine. The parable shows you may hear the Word yet fail to take root when you identify with appearances—tribulation, persecution, or the care of this world—and your attention feeds fear, loss, or lack. In Neville’s view, the world you see is the outward dress of your inner state. When the Word is choked by the deceitfulness of riches or by anxiety about tomorrow, you have made your inner garden barren; you have believed a condition into being. Yet you are not at the mercy of circumstances: you are the I AM, the awareness that says, 'Let there be light' and there is. To restore fruitfulness, refuse to abandon the inner decree. Do not argue with sensation; revise the sentence you live by until it feels true that your world bends to your inner assumption. When tribulation appears, greet it as a signal to return to your root—the unshakable I AM that plants the seed and makes it fruitful.
