Gathering the Inner Elders

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your dream of life, there is a council chamber where your fixed beliefs, your disciplines, and your highest aims sit as elders. When you read the decree of Deuteronomy 31:28, you are not addressing distant Israelites but speaking to your own I AM and to the witnesses you imagine—the heavens and the earth of your consciousness. The words are not outward commands but inward declarations; by gathering these inner doyens, you crystallize a condition of mind that demands obedience to the life you intend. Heaven corresponds to heightened awareness, earth to concrete circumstances. When you say 'Gather unto me,' you are saying: I will assemble my states of consciousness and let them hear the decree that I now adopt. Calling heaven and earth to record against them is the assurance that nothing in consciousness escapes the law of my assumption. In this act you revise your self, you shift from victim to the author. The covenant is not a law outside you; it is the I AM validating your choice by its own testimony of your realized state.
