Biblical Context

The passage urges faithful obedience to God's commands and not turning aside, so you may live well and enjoy long days in the land you possess.

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe that the text is not prescribing an external code to be followed by a separate self, but a clarification of the state of consciousness you assume. To observe to do implies you take up the dream of obedience as a present fact within your I AM. The 'LORD your God' is the inner governor of your awareness; the 'right hand' and the 'left' are the impulses of fear and pride that would lead you away from alignment. When you walk in all the ways God has commanded, you are not marching through outward laws but maintaining a steady imagination that lives in harmony with divine order. The result is life and well-being and prosperity because your river of attention flows in the only true channel—the awareness that you are already in right relation with the Whole. If you find yourself diverted, revise immediately: return to the feeling 'I am governed by the I AM' and feel that you now walk entirely within the inner law. This is the discipline that makes days long in the land of your choosing.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: In the next moment, assume the state 'I am walking in all the ways God commands' and feel that alignment as vividly real. If distraction arises, revise by returning to I AM and continuing in inner obedience.
