Inner Feast Of Inclusive Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

Read as a psychological directive, Deuteronomy 16:14 invites you to awaken to a state of consciousness in which every facet of your life is present and celebrated. The Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow are not distant people but images of your own inner life—attentions, memories, fears, longings awaiting your compassionate acknowledgment. When you rejoice, you do not chase happiness outside; you align with the I AM that already fills your awareness with plenitude. The gate marks the boundary of attention, and to invite all guests inside is to refuse separation and to expand the circle of your self-identity. Thus the command to rejoice becomes a practice of mercy that dissolves fear and builds unity. As you hold this inner banquet, you feel love for neighbor as the living expression of self-love, and your community of thoughts becomes a single, harmonious field. Your imagination acts as the gracious host, and your awareness is the table where every guest finds welcome in the one divine Presence.
