Swift Beloved on Mountain Spices

Neville's Inner Vision

Take this line as a directive to the state you are to inhabit. The beloved is not outside you; she is the I AM within, the awareness that you already are. Make haste means you must refuse delay and allow your consciousness to accelerate into its natural fulfillment. The roe or young hart represents the nimble, unforced movement of desire when no doubt clouds it. The mountains of spices are the inner landscape rich with scent of plenty—gratitude, expectancy, joy—cultivated by imagination. When you dwell in this vision, you are not chasing a scenery but presenting your true self as present, complete, and awake. In Neville's language, reality is a state of consciousness; your life adapts to the inner assumption you persist in. Therefore revise the sense of self, imagine the wish fulfilled, and feel it moving as real now. The inner scene becomes the outer event, and the sense of separation dissolves into the oneness of I AM.
