Return of Inner Streams

Neville's Inner Vision

When I read Turn again our captivity, O LORD, as the streams in the south, I hear an invitation to recognize that your circumstances are only a state of consciousness you awaken from. The “captivity” is a belief you have worn long enough, a fixed picture of lack or limitation projected onto your inner landscape. If you imagine the I AM as the sole actor within you, you can will a reversal by sustaining a new assumption: that the inner flow has already begun and is now moving through you as renewal. The streams in the south symbolize a southern current of vitality within your imagination—quiet, persistent, life-giving—washing away the drought of fear and fatigue. Each moment you remain aligned with the feeling of freedom, you are turning the captive state back toward wholeness. There is no external waiting; the turning is a shift in awareness, a revision of memory into living reality. As you hold the scene of renewal in your mind with steady emotion, the outer world follows the inward movement, because imagination creates reality and God is the I AM you.
