Feeding the Inner Flock

Neville's Inner Vision

Feed the flock is not a mere command about others; it is a command to feed the state of your own consciousness. The flock represents the many thoughts and feelings that march under fear and doom, the slaughter signifying beliefs that seem to die under pressure. When the LORD speaks as your own I AM, you are being invited to take responsibility for the mental climate you inhabit. To feed is to imagine nourishment, to revise, to sustain the life of awareness within you. As you assume that you are the source and supply, you shift from reacting to ruling. Your imagination becomes the field where life is re-scripted; old outcomes that looked inevitable are fed with new images of plenty, and the sense of separation dissolves. Presence of God here means the I AM within, the steady fountain of nourishment that never fails. By tending with kindness the flock inside, you convert doom into a demonstration of unity and abundance, showing that the slaughters were only appearances and the real nourishment is consciousness itself.
