Inner Law for Gentile Believers

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse lies a concise decree not about outward control but about the inner economy of the mind. The Gentiles who believe symbolize a mind not bound by ancient rites but awakened to the I AM, the only true law. The prohibitions—things offered to idols, blood, strangled, fornication—are not lists of rules to appease a distant God; they are signs of discernment in consciousness. To observe them is to refuse reverence to imagery and ritual as substitutes for awareness. When you, as the I AM, are resolved to know no idol but your own divine nature, purity becomes a state you inhabit rather than a habit you perform. Holiness and separation then appear as inner alignment: you separate from thought-forms that claim authority over your feeling and choose to dwell in the one presence that never deceives. The 'law' you follow is love in action within imagination; your world reflects the settled state you maintain in consciousness, not the external commandments. Therefore you need not lay judgment on others; you awaken into a life that radiates integrity from within.
