Inner Leviathan, Outer Order

Neville's Inner Vision

Leviathan here is not a sea creature but the scattered thoughts of fear and limitation that haunt your sense of self. When the verse says Thou brakest the heads of Leviathan, it is your consciousness breaking apart and dissolving the old belief that chaos rules your world. The 'fountain and the flood' that are cleaved speak to the streams of desire and impulse in you that, when rightly attended, become a single, directed current under your awareness. The line 'The day is thine, the night also is thine' declares that both light and darkness are within the I AM you claim as Self; you choose what to illuminate by the attention you cast in the present moment. 'Thou hast set all the borders of the earth' means you have defined your own limits by what you assume to be possible. Seasons—summer and winter—are cycles you permit within consciousness. Providence then appears not as fate from without but as the ordered state of your inner kingdom, governed by the consistency of your deliberate imagining.
