Inner Land of the I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the land as your present state of consciousness. When you harbor grievance, envy, or desire for vengeance—when you simulate the act of blame—you pollute the inner soil. The verse's 'blood' is the lifeblood of your thoughts and memories; when it is shed in anger, fear, or judgment, your atmosphere becomes heavy and unfit for the Presence to dwell. Yet the claim that the land is cleansed by the blood of the one who shed it reveals a deep law: cleansing comes not from another's penalty, but from your own awakening. By turning your attention from externals to the I AM within, you allow the living energy of awareness to wash the soil; forgiveness and responsibility become the stream that heals. When you imagine that God dwells in your consciousness, you are free to revise the scene: you declare that you are the land and the I AM is the river that makes all defilement disappear. In that consciousness, the 'presence' becomes tangible, and your world aligns with holiness.
