Inner Waters of Choice

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, you are not chasing waters in a distant cup; you are meeting a state of consciousness. Stolen waters and bread eaten in secret are but images you entertain in the mind when you feel cut off from your I AM presence. The sweetness is the feeling of separation, the belief that you must obtain from without what is already yours in divine union. When you identify with the I AM, you cease to be compelled by hidden cravings; you discover that all so-called secret pleasures are desires born from fear and lack, and they vanish as you return to your true center. The verse is a reminder to discern the imagery you entertain and to revise it with the awareness that you are always fed by the inexhaustible, pure source within. Imagination is the cook; the bread you eat in secret becomes bread of life when you imagine it as your own divine provision, freely given and morally aligned. Practice turning on the light of inner knowing and reject the illusion that anything secret can satisfy you apart from your unity with God.
