Scripture Focus

Deuteronomy 6:4-6

Biblical Context

The passage proclaims the oneness of God, and commands wholehearted love toward Him, with His words stored in the heart. It invites internal dwelling, not external ritual.

Neville's Inner Vision

Listen to the Shema as Neville would: Not a distant God, but the I AM within, the single awareness behind all you call life. Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD—this is the realization that there is one intelligence governing all your experiences. The God you serve is not apart from you; He is the I AM that fills your consciousness. To love the LORD with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might, is to invest every facet of your being in this awareness—attention, feeling, and action—so that no other claim divides you from the one reality. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart: not as external decree, but as inner habit. Rehearse the words as living truths, feel their reality until they dwell as the atmosphere of your mind. When the inner oneness is established, your world reflects it, not by conquest but by alignment of imagination with truth. You are not asking God to come; you are awakening to the fact that you are that God, the I AM, expressing as your life.

Practice This Now

Imaginative Act: Quietly assume the feeling of oneness—say 'The Lord is one within my mind' and feel your heart settle into that unity. Let the words of this command descend as a living habit into your inner heart.
