Inner Honor of Desire

Neville's Inner Vision

Genesis 34:19 speaks to the inner man that delights and acts without delay. In Neville's sense, the 'young man' is a state of consciousness—a fierce impulse energized by affection but not alien to conscience. The 'honor' spoken of is not a trophy in a hall; it is the inner alignment of impulse with the I AM, the recognition that your inner world has already settled the matter. When you delight in a goal, you must not permit doubt to dim the flame; you simply acknowledge that the desired end exists now in the realm of imagination and thus in your outer life as law. The honorable one is the self who does not hesitate, who treats desire as a sign that you have already become the kind of person who acts with integrity and love. Therefore, revise your sense of separation: see the beloved as a reflection of your own I AM, and treat every impulse as a directive from the one Self. By living as that self, you will discover that the outer scene yields to your inner conviction.
