Inner Identity of God's People

Neville's Inner Vision

To the seeker, this verse is the reminder that I am the LORD's child here and now. 'Ye are the children' means my awareness knows itself as Father, not a distant event. The outward acts of cutting and mourning are symbols of an old belief in separation; I drop them as I realize they are not required to prove the truth of my nature. Holiness is not a moral score but a state of alignment with the one I AM, the Presence within. The phrase 'holy people, chosen' is the inner declaration that my consciousness is set apart by its agreement with God, a sovereignty beyond outward nations. 'Peculiar' is the sign of a distinct inner law—the discipline of thought and feeling that makes me my own temple. As I hold this state, I stop seeking approval from external signs and live from the reality that I am already the LORD's, already chosen. The world then adjusts to the inner tone I maintain, echoing the truth that imagination shapes reality and identity is a state I inhabit, not a destiny I reach.
