Dwelling in Still Waters Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In your inner theatre, the shepherd is your I AM, the awareness that never leaves. When you hear He makes you lie down in green pastures and leads you beside still waters, know these are states of consciousness, not places. Rest is a Decision of the mind, waters are the quiet clarity of attention. He restores your soul by aligning thought to righteousness for the sake of your true name—the I AM you. Even walking through the valley of the shadow of death is a shift in mood; fear evaporates when you affirm, 'Thou art with me.' The rod and staff are discipline and guidance, comforting you as you stay centered in awareness. The table set before enemies is the nourishment of inner truth amid outer appearances; your head is anointed with oil, your cup overflows with realization. Surely goodness and mercy will follow you as you dwell in the Lord’s house forever, the perpetual state of consciousness that never ends.
