Inner Authority and Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Your true temple is a state of consciousness. When the man in your mind acts presumptuously, refusing to heed the inner priest who ministers before the LORD thy God, or the judge who discerns right from wrong, you disobey your own I AM. The 'death' spoken is not a future event but the withering of vitality in your inner Israel, the loss of harmony, the collapse of vision. If you insist on being right against the inner authority, you cast your life into a shadow. Yet the law is simple: align inwardly with the priestly and judicial faculties, and the evil is removed as one cleanses a temple. The moment you acknowledge that you are the I AM, you cease defiance; you revise the stubborn thought, and you feel your world respond with order, peace, and possibility. You are not subject to external threats; you are the living idea of obedience to the inner law, and as you obey, your circumstances rearrange to reflect your inner state. The warning becomes a blessing: choose alignment with inner authority, and the reality you seek becomes inevitable.
