Touch Not, Taste Not: Inner Boundaries

Neville's Inner Vision

That terse directive is not a dietary command but a pointing of the mind toward a fixed inner boundary. In the language of the inner man, 'touch not; taste not; handle not' describes the act of withdrawing attention from the outward world long enough to feel the truth within. If you accept that God is I AM, then every sensation, every appearance, is only a signal your current state projects. You do not conquer by denying things; you shift your state of consciousness until the seen aligns with your inner claim. Therefore, imagine you are already the state you desire—unmoved by craving, untouched by fear, and free from dependence on appearances. The law will respond by reflecting your inner majesty, not by punishing your discipline. Your true boundary is the yes inside your chest that says, 'I am awareness itself; I create by imagining.' When you hold that, the outsides cease to pull you and your life rearranges to mirror your inward decree.
