Tree Of Life Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of hope as a state you entertain in consciousness. When you believe you are waiting for life to come, you feel the heart sick; this is merely your identification with lack. The moment you refuse that identification and assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, the entire psyche responds as one living organism with branches reaching toward the sun. Desires are not objects outside you but an inner decree, a tree of life planted within the mind. Every sensation that accompanies the wish—security, ease, gratitude—embodies the very sap that nourishes your life. Perseverance is not fighting time but aligning with the end you desire; faith is the inner confidence that what you imagine is already yours in principle, awaiting your inner consent. As you dwell in the end, the deferred becomes a garden of vitality; your heart recovers, and you become the observer and the creator of your experience.
