Inner Purity and Consequence

Neville's Inner Vision

View Deuteronomy 27:23 as a statement about the inner law written in the I AM. The curse is not a centuries-soaked doom handed down from afar, but a mirror of the state you entertain in consciousness when you tolerate a split between motive and integrity. To lie with a desire that betrays sacred boundaries is to inhabit a double vision, and the inner law responds by pressing you toward alignment. In Neville's method, the mother-in-law figure becomes symbolic of an old, intimate pattern that would override righteous discernment—attachments that tempt you to compromise your own wholeness. When you claim the I AM as the sole governor of your thoughts and deeds, you refuse to feed that split with fear, guilt, or confusion. You replace misaligned impulse with a steady regard for purity of motive, honesty of action, and the sanctity of your inner domain. The “curse” then lights the way to revision: it asks you to return to your true state, where all life issues from your affirmed unity with God within.
