Inner Union Over Desire

Neville's Inner Vision

Every line of scripture is a statement about states of consciousness. 'If they cannot contain, let them marry' speaks to the inner truth that desire, left unmastered in thought, spills into outward acts. The 'burning' is not a condemnation of natural longing but a symptom of a dispersed mind—an I AM awareness that has forgotten its focus. To see it as a call to inner union is to recognize that the marriage here is not merely an external contract but the integration of opposite energies within your consciousness. When you assume a state in which you are complete in yourself, that energy is redirected into loving discipline and creative intention, so you do not suffer the chaos of unchecked impulse. The moment you condition your inner weather—acknowledge the flame, yet declare: I am united, I am whole—your imagination begins to reorganize your experience. In that inner wedding, you become the steward of your energy, choosing to channel it into productive, harmonious outcomes rather than separation and burning.
