Weak Conscience, Divine Unity

Neville's Inner Vision

In the depth of your being, the 'weak brother' is a call to your own state of consciousness. When you insist on liberty at the expense of another's awareness, you are not merely choosing meat or no meat; you are shaping a scene in your mind that excludes a part of God. The I AM within you, your true identity, is the one who can be free and still include every brother; to wound the brother is to wound Christ within. Therefore, you must choose a state that honors unity: imagine that you and your brother are one in God, and that your freedom serves not separation but the healing of the whole body. To change the outward, you begin by changing the inner assumption about who you are and what your action represents. Rehearse the feeling of universal inclusion, and your external arrangements will align with that inward reality.
