Drying the Inner Euphrates

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this reading, the river is your mental habit of belief—the water that seems to hold you in a certain place. When the sixth angel pours out the vial and the waters dry, it symbolizes a shift in consciousness, not a future catastrophe. The dry bed reveals a path for the 'kings of the east'—the higher faculties within you, the Christ-self, the sovereign I AM that rules from within. This is an inner preparation: the old, watery pattern no longer limits you, and you begin to see the way forward with new clarity. Providence is your own imagination in action, guiding you to revise what you hold as real. The story invites you to realize that events are not moving you; you are moving the events by what you choose to accept in awareness. When you imagine the bed dry, you invite a fresh current—one that allows the eastern kings to travel through your life as usable insight and steady guidance.
