From Wilderness to Inner Habitation

Neville's Inner Vision

See the Psalm as a map of inner life. The wandering in the wilderness is a state of consciousness, a mind forgetful of its own I AM presence. Being solitary and without a city is the impression of separation, hunger and thirst the soul’s sign that it has forgotten its fullness. When you cry unto the LORD within, you are turning back to your one and only Self—the I AM that never left you. Deliverance then arises not from some distant power, but as a vivid assumption, a feeling of sufficiency and safety that you maintain in spite of appearances. The right way is the inward path your imagination travels when anchored in the truth that you are already in possession of your city. As you persist in the inner picture, the sense of lack dissolves and the external scene aligns with your inner state. Before long you find yourself inhabiting the city of habitation, not as a future promise but as the awareness you live by now.
