Inner Embrace Of Presence

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard vein, the imagery is not external romance but the soul waking to its own I AM presence. The ‘brother’ and the act of sucking at the mother’s breast symbolize the inner state of nourishment and near companionship with God within. The longing to kiss and not be despised marks a shift from sense of separation to conscious unity with the divine I AM. When it says, “I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house,” imagine the conscious I AM guiding you into your inner sanctuary, where truth is taught not by outward ritual but by inward awareness. Drinking of the wine and juice of the pomegranate denotes vitality and joy poured into consciousness as you recognize the inner nourishment of God’s presence. The left hand under the head and the right arm embracing you express the steady, comforting embrace of awakening awareness. This passage invites you to dwell in the presence of God within, transforming longing into the felt reality of union. By assuming this state, you re-create the scene in consciousness and discover unity in the now.
