Inner Peace, One New Man

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s interiorizing language, the verse reveals a lesson in consciousness. 'He is our peace' is not a future event but the I AM in you, awakening to its own unity. The 'middle wall of partition' stands for every projection that says you are separated from another part of life, from your neighbor, or from a better self. The wall is your belief that two distinct, opposed selves must exist; when you insist there is only one life, those two streams melt into one. The enmity is abolished in the flesh by mental revision: the enmity you carried as a sense of lack, judgment, or old covenant of rules is dissolved by the sufficiency of your inner state. The law of commandments is the external code you once used to keep apart; in the inner unity of the new man, those outward obligations lose their force because the heart knows only one law, the law of love and inclusive consciousness. Therefore, you are called to dwell in the certainty that you are already one with all, and the world you see is the outer symbol of that inner reconciliation. Your covenant loyalty is to the I AM within, where there is no other.
