Love Over Appetite

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the 'brother' is not merely another person but a state of consciousness within you. When you imagine a choice that might wound that inner brother, you are really testing your I AM and the level of love you permit in your world. The command 'meat offend' becomes a symbol for appetites, desires, and judgments that threaten the harmony of your inner kingdom. The world standing is simply your present mental atmosphere; until you align it with universal love, you will continue to feed a split between self and neighbor. To eat or not to eat is not the point; the point is the revision of the scene: assume you are in a state where no act of appetite disturbs another aspect of you, and feel its reality now. When you silently declare, 'I am one with all life; my appetite bows to the peace of my neighbor and the God within,' you disarm the impulse and reframe your outer world. The obedience to love is obedience to the I AM; every choice becomes a spiritual discipline that builds a temple of unity.
