Holiness Without Separation

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah 65:5 unveils a mental posture that says, Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou. In Neville's cinema, this is not a distant condemnation of others but a state of consciousness within you that pockets itself in judgment. The 'smoke in my nose' and the 'fire that burneth all the day' are the inner heat of self-importance and separation—an insistence that you are apart from the very life you seek. The remedy is to see that God is the I AM within you, and that all beings are expressions of the same consciousness. When you identify with the exclusive voice of superiority, you obscure the truth of unity. Your task is not to crush others but to revise the assumption that you stand outside or above life. Return to the awareness that the I AM is the one reality in which all differences dissolve, and through that recognition, truth and faithfulness cease to feel like distant judgments and become living relations in your mind. The verse invites a shift from separation to intimate oneness with all that you behold.
