Inner Tree, Inner Choice

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse shows the inner command: guard your mind from the belief that you can know separation and still be one. The tree is not an external fruit but the mind's habit of naming life as good or evil, which splits the I AM from its creation. When one eats that belief, consciousness clutches a condition—fear, judgment, and an assumed split—and the sense of unity dies, not the body. In Neville's psychology, God is the I AM, and every event is a movement of inner state. The die is the moment you forget your oneness and take on a story of lack. Yet the law of imagination remains: by assuming the opposite of the current limitation and feeling it real, you restore consciousness of oneness. The moment you revise the belief to I am always in God, you re-enter the garden of seamless being. Knowledge becomes wisdom when used to align with unity, not to justify separation. The command to not eat is therefore a reminder to guard the thoughts that claim division and to practice the felt reality of unity.
