Isaiah 58:11 · World English Bible
and Yahweh will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters don’t fail.
When a person runs dry inside, they look outside for what they lack. But the deeper mind has a hidden source that keeps working through the empty stretches, renewing what daily life uses up.
From the Psychoanalysis reading below.
The same verse, read by one tradition.
PSYCHOANALYSIS
When a person runs dry inside, they look outside for what they lack. But the deeper mind has a hidden source that keeps working through the empty stretches, renewing what daily life uses up. The old writers called this source God, sensing rightly that it runs deeper than the everyday self.
A man in midlife who had everything he wanted still felt dead inside, and no success could touch it. What healed him was turning inward and letting that deeper center guide him. He stopped running dry because the spring within kept feeding him, and that spring does not depend on luck, so it never fails.
Psychoanalysis lens
Where have you been looking outside for something that only fills up from the inside?
The Way is a well that keeps giving and never empties. Draw from it and it is not less.
What you are chasing outside is already the ground of what you are. The spring is inward, not elsewhere.
Dig within. There is a source of good in you, and it will keep flowing if you keep digging.
