Streams of Return: Inner Restoration

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the words do not plead with a distant deity; they announce a truth already planted in consciousness. The line The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad declares that deliverance is a state of mind you already inhabit when you identify with the I AM within. Your sense of 'us' is the self that knows itself as whole, untouched by lack, aware of power, and grateful for what has been accomplished in awareness. Then Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south becomes a practical instruction, not a petition for God to move time, but a command to refresh your inner climate. Captivity stands for limitation, fear, a stale atmosphere; streams in the south symbolize abundance, vitality, and spiritual renewal flowing into your life when you assume the outcome in imagination. Therefore, dwell in the end: you are free, you are restored, and the very ground of your being now welcomes the light of new growth. When you persist in that assumed state, the external world follows, bringing joy and a revived sense of future.
