Inner Path of Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the command in Deuteronomy is not a distant ordinance but an invitation to revise your inner world. 'Ye shall observe to do therefore' means you stand in the awareness that you already know the right quality of being and you choose it again and again. 'The LORD your God' is the I AM within you, the steady, unchanging observer behind all thoughts. To 'not turn aside to the right hand or to the left' is to refuse the flirtation of extremes—the impulse to overthink, to swagger into anxious righteousness, or to slump into cynical doubt. Your inner world has a law just as a statute has a sign, and you obey that law by holding the image of the desired state and walking in it with feeling. Obedience here is not denial but alignment: you align your conscious assumption with the living pattern of divine order in you. When you keep this center, you will see the outer world fall into line with your inner statement.
