Inner Counsel and Soul Leanness

Neville's Inner Vision

In the moment they forgot the works of I AM, they denied the inner counsel that speaks within. The wilderness represents a mind split between desire and guidance. Lust, craving, and the urge to force results become the tempting of God, a refusal to yield to the perfect order of your own consciousness. God does not punish the soul; the soul punishes itself by insisting on a picture that does not harmonize with the state of being you are claiming. When you fixate on a desire as separate from you, you draw its image into your world while starving the inner life that makes it real. The true provision you seek is always the state you inhabit; the leanness of the soul is the price of attempting to live from craving rather than from the I AM awareness that everything you imagine is already yours. Return to counsel, assume you are guided, and let gratitude and trust overwhelm craving. As you maintain that inner alignment, the outer world mirrors the fullness you already feel.
