Abide and Abound in God

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the commandment is not a pile of external rules but a call to shift your inner state. Walking, for Neville, is a present-tense condition you assume: you are already pleasing God because God is your awareness. When you hold that inner posture, you abound more and more, not by effort but by the law of consciousness working through you. The Lord Jesus appears here as the inner guide—the true self reminding you of your birthright and of the inner commandments that awaken discernment, holiness, and fidelity. The commandments become inner prompts, aligning your thoughts, feelings, and choices with your divine nature. By assuming the consciousness of the one who has received these teachings, you move from striving to knowing, from longing to living. Your outer circumstances reorder themselves as you persist in this state, proving that what you imagine and feel to be true is the initial cause of all outward experience.
