From Bones to Inner Trust

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the outward scene of scattered bones as a symbol of the mind seized by fear and appearances. The true message is not a cry against death, but a call to return attention to the inner God—the I AM that you are aware of. 'Mine eyes are unto thee' becomes a statement of inner focus: you look away from the external tomb and fix your consciousness on the Source within. In this light, 'in thee is my trust' is a ruling of the mind: trust is not in outcomes or life’s fragile forms, but in the steadfast Presence that animates all forms. To say 'leave not my soul destitute' is to claim that the soul's supply comes from the inner Life, never from the body's fortunes. You are not the ephemeral image you see; you are the awareness in which images arise. When you practice shifting your attention to that inner God, you convert fear into faith, decay into renewal, and death into a temporary scene within your perpetual being. The imagined bones are a door through which you enter the awareness that you are eternally upheld by the I AM.
