Inner Jew of the Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Acts 22:3 as a map of your inner state. The speaker is not merely a man of a tribe; he is the I AM speaking through him, the awareness that claims a lineage, a training, and a fervor. The 'born in Tarsus' and 'brought up at the feet of Gamaliel' become inner milestones: you are born into memory forms, then mentored by the wise counselor of your own inner God. The 'perfect manner of the law of the fathers' is not a dead code but the perfected discipline of your mind—steady, exact, and faithful to truth. The zeal toward God is the ardor of consciousness toward alignment with the divine within you. When you realize that this is your inner reality, the outward labels dissolve into inner dispositions: the city stands for memory, the feet of Gamaliel as your inner mentor, the law as universal principle you can live by. Your present day becomes a practice field: reimagine yourself as the same Jew, trained and zealous, now choosing the I AM as your guide.
