Inner Law of Harm and Wholeness

Neville's Inner Vision

The ox becomes a symbol of a stubborn habit within your own mind. When that habit wounds another aspect of your life, the energy is divided—one part remains in action, the other in consequence—until your I AM awareness takes command. If the impulse has long been left unrestrained, you pay ox-for-ox by owning the charge in your inner state and choosing to transform it. The dead ox represents that part of your former self that must die to make room for a higher self. The law speaks of responsibility and covenant loyalty: you are answerable to your own state of consciousness for every action and its result. By restraining and directing the impulse toward a constructive use, you restore harmony; by fleeing responsibility, you accrue inward debt. In imagination, the outer world mirrors the inner settlement when you revise with a higher vision.
