Flood of Thought, Grounded Being

Neville's Inner Vision

Read not as a distant scene but as your own inner theatre. The serpent issuing water after the woman is the flood of distracting thoughts and fear that would sweep your awareness away from the I AM. The woman is your steadfast consciousness—attentive, receptive, faithful. The earth opening her mouth and swallowing the flood is the moment when your own mental soil—grounded awareness—refuses consumption by fear and absorbs the onslaught into a deeper state of presence. In Neville's terms, the dragon's flood is a belief in separation; the earth is the living, thinking principle that swallows it when you align with the I AM and entertain a different assumption. When you imagine the earth swallowing the flood, you are re-teaching your mind to be the ground of being that can neutralize the projected currents. Do not seek rescue outside; awaken to your inner republic where Providence is your inner hinge and your God-self gently withdraws the fear by seeing it as imagination.
