Inner Discipline of Love

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage, the 'brethren' are the various inner states of consciousness. The command not to weary in well-doing is a summons to persist in living from the I AM, your unchanging awareness. To 'note that man' who does not obey our word by this epistle is to observe a stubborn inner state, not a real adversary; 'have no company with him' means withdraw identification with that resistant facet and allow it to reveal its instability by separation. Yet 'count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother' instructs you to address the resisting part with love and guidance, not condemnation. By holding a clear boundary while maintaining compassionate awareness, you convert judgment into inner reform. When you persist in the assumption that you are one with the divine self, all conflicting states bow to your living reality. The world outside becomes a reflection of the inner alignment you continuously affirm, and your responsibility is simply to keep returning your attention to the good you know you are.
