Sacred Life Within You

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the commandment as an invitation to guard the life that God—the I AM in you—breathes into every image in your world. When you say 'Thou shalt not kill,' you are not merely policing an external act; you are aligning your inner state with the reality that life is a sacred creation of consciousness. To kill in Neville's terms is to wound life in imagination—the moment you condemn, envy, or retaliate in your heart, you murder possibility in your own aura. Your neighbor is not a mere body but a reflection of divine life, and recognizing that inner life keeps your world from violence. By tending the thoughts you permit in your mind, you sustain a climate where others can flourish, and your own desires begin to express as harmony rather than harm. The law becomes a daily practice of imagining life-giving scenes—blessing, forgiveness, and uplift—until those images feel as real as the air you breathe. In that internal climate, you honor God who is the I AM within you, and you manifest a world where life remains untouchable by your own hand.
