Inner Water, Inner Wilderness

Neville's Inner Vision

Numbers 20:2-5 presents a desert not as geography but as a state of consciousness. The absence of water reveals a belief in lack; the crowd is my restless thoughts, and Moses and Aaron are the inner authorities I appeal to. Their quarrel mirrors the I AM asking for proof while forgetting that the source of life resides within. The cry that we would have died exposes a past-self clinging to suffering rather than using imagination. The question of why we were brought into this wilderness becomes an invitation to reframe the scene from external scarcity to inner abundance. When I treat water as already given—seeing the fountain of life in my own chest—and align with the I AM, I unleash imagination as creative power. I revise the moment by affirming that I am the source of all I require, and I feel it real: the current of life flowing through me, rising to meet every need. As this inner conviction grows, the outer scene begins to harmonize with it and Providence becomes a present fact of consciousness.
