Inner Waters of Fidelity

Neville's Inner Vision

Your water imagery is the drama of your consciousness. The cistern and well are the finite states of awareness you inhabit now. To drink waters out of thine own cistern is to live from the conviction that your life is formed by your inner choices, not by external appearances. The 'fountains dispersed abroad' are thoughts or cravings pulled toward sensations or images that do not belong to the I AM you are. When you dwell in the sense of exclusive unity with your wife—seeing her as the loving hind and pleasant roe—you align your energy with fidelity and your life becomes that joy. The 'ravishment' is not sex alone but the continual refreshment of your attention by the beloved presence you carry in awareness. If you find yourself 'ravished' by a stranger, it reveals a distracted state of consciousness; return to your own well, bless your fountain, and celebrate the covenant within your heart. The inner law is simple: imagine and feel what you desire as already present, and the outer scene follows the inner state.
