Inner Garden Union

Neville's Inner Vision

In this moment the garden is the field of your own consciousness. The beloved is not a distant person but the I AM you are, the very awareness that animates every thought and sensation. When the beloved goes down into the garden to feed among the beds of spices and to gather lilies, notice the movement as your inner faculties aligning to nourishment, scent of truth rising in quiet assurance. The gathering of lilies speaks of the purification and beauty your state of consciousness collects and tends. The declaration, I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine, is the recognition that your I AM and your inner state are one, a living covenant that requires no external time or space. The feeding among the lilies is the sustained, present experience of being nourished by awareness itself. When you dwell in this unity, you experience life as a field where lack dissolves and nourishment and praise spring forth. This is the gospel of your inner covenant: God (the I AM) feeding among your finest faculties.
