Fig Tree Parable of Nearness

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner life is the fig tree; its tender branch and fresh leaves symbolize a conviction forming within you. When the outer signs described in the text appear, do not chase them outwardly. Recognize that the nearness of fulfillment is a translation of your present consciousness. Heaven and earth will pass away, but the immutable Word remains—this is the cry of your I AM, the self that endures beyond circumstance. The message is not that fulfillment is distant, but that it is already realized by the you who imagines. If you persist in the assumption that the end is near, you become the generation that does not pass away until it is fulfilled. Outer changes may drift, while your inner decree holds firm. By treating the desired state as real now, you align with the law that creates through consciousness. The near future becomes your lived present when you dwell confidently in that truth.
