Guarding the Tender Vines Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment, you are invited to tend the inner garden of your life. The foxes are not external enemies but the tiny, restless thoughts and habits that creep into awareness and nibble at what you love. They may seem harmless, even charming, but their repeated nibbling dulls the brightness of your inner grapes—the tender, ripe expressions of love, purpose, and creativity. Neville teaches that reality is formed by consciousness; when you allow such intrusions to go unchecked, you water foxes with attention and they grow. The remedy is to assume a new state of awareness: I AM the gardener; nothing in the garden spoils itself without my consent. When a thought whispers lack or fear, revise it with warm decisiveness: these foxes cannot spoil my inner vineyard; I choose abundance. Let imagination water the soil with gratitude and clear seeing, so the grapes ripen with ease. Stand in a calm, open-breath posture, as if the light already fills the vines. The little foxes fade when you inhabit a perception that the garden is protected by your I AM presence.
