Inner Freedom Beyond Ritual

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Galatians with the inner vision, you see that the bondage spoken of is not external rule but a state of consciousness clinging to forms. Knowing God is the recognition of the I AM within, a lasting awareness that cannot be altered by calendars. The 'weak and beggarly elements' are the mind’s habit of turning life into a sequence of days, times, and ritual demands, begging for approval through compliance. When you mistake ritual for reality, you choose lack over fullness; when you rest in the knowing of God, the calendar loses its power and freedom becomes your immediate feel. The inner kingdom is here now, not somewhere in the future; faith and imagination replace fear and obligation. Do not chase after law, but revise the assumption: I am already free; I am known of God. As you persist in that conviction, attention shifts from externals to the inner movement of consciousness, and external forms dissolve into grace. The Spirit within guides your experience, so time and tradition bow to the truth of who you are in God.
