Inner Justice, Outer Reality

Neville's Inner Vision

The text invites you to notice that oppression is not a deed performed by distant powers but a state of consciousness you hold within. When you hear the cry 'beat my people to pieces,' hear it as an inward assumption that diminishes the worth of any part of you or others. The Lord God of hosts is not an external tyrant but the I AM—the living awareness you are. To change the outer world, you must reform the inner realm. See the oppressed as you would see your truest self, and recognize that dignity is the birthright of the whole being. Turn your attention to the feeling of worth and sufficiency, and let it saturate your thoughts until the old habit of grinding or blaming dissolves. When you imagine the inner light asserting justice, the outer scenes bend toward harmony. You are not pleading with God to intervene; you are awakening the God within to take the lead in your affairs, creating a just and compassionate lived reality.
