Inner Field Of Ruth 2:5-6

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner sense, the field of Boaz is the field of consciousness where awareness surveys its states. The question 'Whose damsel is this?' is the I AM asking, 'Whose state have I in mind now?' The servant who answers is the voice of outward thought reporting what has appeared to you in your current atmosphere. Ruth, the Moabitess damsel who came back with Naomi, represents a renewed state—loyal, determined, and providential—made possible by the old memory (Naomi) standing with it. The Moab part signals the 'foreign' elements of experience that your mind once accepted as real, now reorganized under the light of your new assumption. What occurs, then, is a recognition that a new state has arrived within your own awareness and is now walking among familiar conditions. To use this moment, acknowledge that Ruth's return is your own 'feeling it real' of a better state: a consciousness that sees through lack to provision. Rest there, rehearsing, for the degree to which you can identify Ruth within you expands your field and invites Boaz—the I AM—to feed it.
