Inner Covenant with I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened reader, these few words translate into a law of inner alignment: refuse any covenant that splits your consciousness from the I AM. A covenant is a persistent alignment—an investment of attention—made with 'them' or their 'gods' in your inner world. When you suppose you owe allegiance to something outside the I AM, you set up a rival power within your mind. The I AM, your true identity, does not share dominion with fear, appetite, status, or habit; therefore you cannot covenant with these imagined deities without fracturing your inner unity. The verse asks you to keep your inner temple free of competing loyalties; this is the practice of true worship: a single consciousness ruling all experiences. As you presume you are the I AM, you revise every appearance of a separate power; you feel the reality of oneness so vividly that the 'foreign god' dissolves into mere symbol. The practical effect is gradual but sure: your outer life begins to reflect a settled, undivided awareness, and what you call events respond to the one decree you have chosen.
