Return of the Borrowed Spirit

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville’s light, Exodus 22:14-15 translates the outer law into an inner circuit of consciousness. The borrowed thing is a thought or energy you permit into your inner theater. When the owner is not with it, you are in a state of separation—your awareness is not fully guiding the image—and you must ‘make it good’ by revising the assumption that damage is possible without responsibility. Render the scene anew: see the object intact, hear the gratitude of the owner, and feel the restoration as a completed act of your I AM. If the owner is with it, you remain in balance; the energy belongs to the current state of consciousness, and no restitution is required because alignment with awareness renders the image complete. The hired thing reminds you that experiences are loaned for growth, not permanent property. The underlying law is simple: every borrowed image returns to its rightful order when you reassert your ownership of the inner state and treat disruption as a signal to revise, not punish.
