Edifying Liberty Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

To be free in the apostle's sense is to stand within an inner kingdom where your perception is not ruled by circumstance but by the I AM that you are. 'All things are lawful' is not a license to indulge any external appetite, but a reminder that your state of consciousness governs what appears as 'lawful' in your life. If you persist in a thought-world that fears limitation, you will find expediency slipping from your grasp and edification becoming distant. Neville would say: image yourself not as a victim of circumstances, but as the one who chooses the meaning of every event. The moment you decide that a choice is edifying, you release the creative energy of feeling and assumption; you revise the scene in your imagination until your feeling-state confirms the new fact. Thus liberty is an inward jurisdiction: the I AM that consecrates your desires into experience when they are aligned with uplift and truth. In this posture, the outer world shifts to match the inner vision, and "lawful" actions become stepping stones to edification.
