Inner Covenant Vows Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

To you, the I AM, this vow is not a regulation but a reconfiguration of your state of consciousness. When you utter 'I vow,' you are not asking God to change something outside you; you are naming a new inner state you refuse to abandon. The LORD thy God is your own awareness, and the vow is a movement of awareness toward a desired quality or condition. If you declare it, you are testing the still, small voice of your own I AM and issuing a command to your future. The sin would lie in breaking the vow, but the forbearance reveals an honest interior alignment: the external ritual is merely the form through which you announce the new self. Your freewill offering is the inner gift to your own consciousness—an energy, attention, time, or devotion given to the state you choose. Therefore, the law speaks of loyalty to the inner covenant, not condemnation; when you repeat the words, you must feel the promised state as already present, and let that feeling color your daily life with faith.
