Inner Old Commandment Recalled

Neville's Inner Vision

The 'old commandment' is not a rule outside you but the word already alive within your consciousness. You are not being asked to add something new; you are asked to remember the constancy of your own awareness. The phrase 'word you heard from the beginning' points to the fundamental vibration of life that your mind recognized long before you sought new guidance. When you attend to that word with the awareness that you are its living rhythm, you're obeying not an external statute but the nature of your own being. Obedience becomes simple attention—aligning your inner state with love, unity, and truth. In Neville's terms, the commandment is a state of consciousness you assume and inhabit, until it feels like the only reality you know. The outward events then respond to that inner condition, not the other way around. So the "old" commandment is forever fresh because it is the living word of your I AM presence.
