Walking the Inner Sea

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the ship as your mind, the waves as restless thoughts, and the contrary wind as the resistance of old beliefs. When they glimpse Jesus walking on the sea in the fourth watch, they are confronted with a truth: awareness can operate where fear reigns, and it does not come by changing the weather but by changing your state of consciousness. The 'spirit' they fear is the product of imagination when crowded by doubt; the remedy is not to flee or recite a tale but to awaken to the I AM that you are. The moment you acknowledge that you are the presence that walks above the waves, the sea steadies. You do not calm the sea with force; you become the watcher who sees it, and the storm becomes a sign of energy shifting into alignment with your true nature. Persist in the feeling of being already whole, of being led by divine Providence, and you will find that the wind loses its sting and the night reveals guidance and hope for your future.
