Brotherly Admonition Realized

Neville's Inner Vision

In the quiet of your I AM, the one who errs is a state of consciousness, not a separate foe. The command 'count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother' is a directive to your awareness: meet error with kinship, for you and the other are one in the creator within. When you admonish, you are not venting hostility, but aligning the inner climate so that correction arises from love and clarity. See in imagination the other as a brother, a living mirror of your own divine Self. The admonition then becomes a healing word spoken to a belief, not a battle with a person. By refusing to persecute the figure in your mind, you release the energy by which change occurs. Hold the conviction that this relationship is already harmonious; the correction you offer is the natural expression of unity, and the outer scene will follow as surely as dawn follows night.
