Nurturing the Inner Levite

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the line 'the Levite within thy gates' you meet the state of consciousness that serves without possessing land. The Levite is not a man but an inner function—the minister of awareness, the I AM that attends to your inner needs. When the text says 'thou shalt not forsake him,' it is a directive to sustain the attention, gratitude, and imagination that nourish your inner minister. Because he 'hath no part nor inheritance with thee' in the outer sense, you cannot look to external possessions to satisfy him; you must realize that you are the source of his nourishment. In Neville's way, wealth and conditions reveal the richness of your inner life: feed your inner Levite with time, reverence, and imaginative acts. The act of providing for him opens the gate between your outer life and inner reality, converting neglected consciousness into a vibrant current of being. When you imagine your inner minister thriving, you invite the same vitality into your world; you awaken to a consciousness that makes provision by believing it first, then living as if your inner guide governs your affairs.
