Kinship Beyond Borders: Inner Love

Neville's Inner Vision

Within every person you meet, imagine a mirror of your own I AM. When you say 'not to abhor,' you declare that separation is a dream to be revised. The Edomite or Egyptian is not 'out there' but a color of your inner consciousness, a kin in the land of your mind; you were a stranger in theirs, so you know the ache of foreignness; soften that ache by assuming their nature is gentle, and that you are not complete without their form reflecting your own wholeness. See the other as brother, for your awareness chose this relation to awaken love, to prove that all tribes of memory are united in the One; your calling is to return to kindness in inner dialogue, to greet, bless, and include rather than judge; by feeling the reality of oneness, you discharge the fear that keeps you separate, and your outer world conforms to that inner stance; the commandment is not about externals but about your inner orientation toward unity and kinship in God.
