None Like Thee Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 17:20 speaks a radical truth: there is none like You, nor any God beside You. In Neville's language, this is not about distant deities but your own state of consciousness. The I AM within you is the sole Reality; all other figures—fear, lack, circumstance—are only images that arise when you forget who you are. The phrase 'according to all that we have heard with our ears' points to habit and tradition: you have learned to hear of God as an external ruler, but the invitation is to revise that teaching by turning attention inward to the Self that knows. When you acknowledge that there is none like the I AM in you, you cease playing the role of lack or separation and let the inner sovereignty reorder your world. The God you seek is the I AM you awaken to. As you dwell in that realization, your assumptions become laws, and the outer scenes follow the decree you have accepted within.
