Guarding The Inner Land

Neville's Inner Vision

Your land is the consciousness you dwell in, and the strangers are thoughts, habits, or beliefs that do not belong to your I AM. When you allow a foreign image to take root, you invite a god that cannot save you from sorrow; you invite a snare. The command is not about geography but about allegiance: keep your attention and affection anchored in the awareness that you are the I AM, and let all else be mere appearance. If a thought or tendency arises that would pull you toward another 'god,' revise it by affirming, I am the Lord of this mind; I worship only the I AM. Feel it as real by dwelling in that state, imagining the mind as a secure land that cannot be swayed by borrowed rites. As you maintain this inner boundary, your life reflects a faithful worship—obedience to your divine nature—so that what you experience harmonizes with the truth you hold in consciousness. The danger is subtle; the correction is simple: return, assume, and feel it real.
