Inner Kiss of Unity

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the verse is not a ritual of lips but a revelation of the inner kiss—the moment when the I AM recognizes another aspect of itself in every brother and sister. 'All the brethren greet you' is the consciousness greeting itself in unity; 'greet ye one another with an holy kiss' becomes the practice of honoring and blessing every face you meet as a reflection of your own divine nature. In Neville's psychology, holiness is not separate from mind but a state of awareness. To imagine such a kiss is to acknowledge wholeness: the other person is you in disguise, and by honoring them you honor your own I AM. The feeling of communion dissolves fear, separation, and doubt, replacing them with the certainty that life is one living I AM, expressing through countless forms. When you live from that inner kiss—assenting that you and your brethren share the same universal heart—the world reconfigures itself around love, and actions toward others become the natural reverberation of your inner unity.
