Inner Vine of Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened reader, the vine is your own consciousness, planted by the I AM out of the old bondage of limitation. Egypt represents thoughts long entertained as real, but God’s act of bringing you forth is the assurance that you are now rooted in divine presence. The prepared room and the deep roots express the sustained conditions of awareness a space in which your life can take hold and flourish. The shade on the hills stands for the grace that covers your steps when you remember that you are the I AM, not a separate self. The boughs stretching to sea and river symbolize your imagination extending into every direction—action, love, perception, and prosperity—flowing from the one source. When the hedges are broken and passersby pluck fruit, notice that this is a moment of forgetfulness, a temporary lapse into separation, not a verdict on your nature. The boar and wild beasts are the fears and distractions that arise when you doubt. Return to the soil of divine awareness, renew your root, and let your life grow in grace.
