One Flesh: Mind and Marriage

Neville's Inner Vision

In this passage the leaving is the shedding of old beliefs that keep you divided from your true nature; the joining unto a wife is the inner alignment of mind with its beloved as a single consciousness. The great mystery is not a secret about external bonds but the inner union of Christ and the Church within you—the I AM and the living idea you inhabit. You aren’t asking God to alter circumstances; you are changing your state of awareness until the world reflects that unity. When you accept oneness as already real, forms will harmonize. Picture yourself in covenant with your beloved or with your divine nature, and dwell in that sense of oneness until separation dissolves and wholeness remains.
