Furrows Of Inner Strength

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the plowers and furrows are not outside forces but movements within consciousness. The back bears marks of past belief, the furrows born of thoughts that have occupied my awareness and identified themselves as reality. In Neville's sense, 'God' is the I AM, the living awareness that witnesses these images. I am not the furrows; I am the seeing of them. I now declare that these grooves are openings for light, channels through which a new idea may enter. The very effort of plowing indicates a strong, persistent energy, which can be redirected by assumption. I imagine walking along the furrowed skin, tracing the lines and tasting them as maps guiding me toward a stronger, more integrated self. I feel the surge of the I AM affirm: I am whole, I am free, I am now the authority of my own reality. As I abide in that awareness, the memory of suffering loosens its stranglehold and becomes a teacher, showing where faith must grow. The world inside, not the world outside, determines the meaning of the furrows, and I choose to turn them into conduits of perseverance and future joy.
