Inner Wisdom: The I Am Within

Neville's Inner Vision

The LORD in this text is not a distant judge but the I AM within you, the living awareness that can form any state. When it says 'Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding,' it means you must trust the inner Light as the source of discernment, not outward proof. The 'charge concerning Israel' represents your inner order, the way you govern the assembly of your thoughts, desires, and beliefs. To 'keep the law of the LORD thy God' is to align every choice with divine principle within you—the steady, loving pattern by which you live. In Neville's mind, imagination is the sole reality: if you imagine yourself wise and discerning, you activate that state and the outer events bend to it. Therefore, cultivate the feeling of being led by inner wisdom; rest in the sense that your awareness is already complete and lawful. The verse invites you to revise the belief that wisdom comes from without and to stand as the I AM, the source of your judgments and obedience. As you inhabit this inner state, you will find guidance unfolding in your life, one choice at a time, from within outwardly manifested order.
