Olive Trees of Inner Light

Neville's Inner Vision

Two olive trees are not external objects to be explained; they are your inner streams of life sustaining the lamp of awareness. The candlestick stands in your mind, and the oil that keeps its flame alive comes from two faculties you already possess: the I AM that watches the scene, and the imagination that forms and holds the desired state. When you inquire, 'What are these olive trees?' you are being shown that mastery comes from feeding those inner sources with a steady, vivid assumption of the end. Do not seek permission outside yourself; ask nothing of conditions, only foster the feeling-that-you-are-already in possession of the fulfilled state. As you dwell in that consciousness—the knowing that you are what you intend—the lamp shines brighter, and circumstances align to reflect the interior climate you have cultivated. The inner question transforms into an invitation to live from the end, letting your awareness and your imagining do the work.
