Inner Purity Now

Neville's Inner Vision

Let this verse be a mirror of your inner state. Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God, is a reminder that you, the I AM, govern what you affix to your awareness. Lust is not a foe external to you; it is a movement of your own consciousness, a subtle shift in what you imagine about yourself. The Gentiles know not God because they do not recognize the I AM within as the sovereign ruler of their world. The answer is not in fighting an outer temptation, but in shifting your inner image. Assume that your consciousness is pure, and let the feeling of wholesomeness saturate your mental atmosphere. As you dwell in a steady sense of being, the impulse to act on carnal desire fades, because your inner state has changed. When you affirm the I AM as the governing reality, the external world aligns with that state. You are holiness by identification, not by adherence to a set of rules.
