The Field of Inner Understanding

Neville's Inner Vision

I pass by the field of the slothful and the vineyard of the man void of understanding, and I tell you these fields are not in some distant place; they are within you. Each field and vineyard is a state of consciousness you tolerate. Sloth is a refusal to invest awareness; the soil remains fallow while thoughts lie dormant and opportunities remain unharvested. The man void of understanding does not suffer from ignorance imposed from without; he sustains it by neglecting the light of awareness. Thus, the outer world mirrors an inner harvest that has not been tended. The cure is immediate: assume a new inner state. Enter the role of the gardener, tending with discernment, watering understanding with the energy of imagination, removing doubt, pruning fear. When you dwell in that state, your felt inner reality shifts, and the life around you begins to reflect the harvest you now plant. Remember, God is the I AM within; the field is the mind, and your imagination sows and reaps. By choosing this new state, you reclaim the harvest that was always yours.
