Inner Unity Beyond Envy

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse lies a simple map: envy and strife are not external troubles but states of consciousness that clash with the one God I AM. When I judge another, when I feel rivalry, I split awareness into rival selves, and confusion becomes the atmosphere of my world, breeding 'every evil work' as the imagination refashions itself according to that inner discord. Neville would say: you do not battle outer conditions; you revise the inner posture and claim your true identity as the I AM, the unconditioned awareness that experiences through images. By insisting on unity, by imagining the other as a manifestation of your own perfect self, you dissolve contradiction. In this light, James invites you to stop feeding envy and strife, and instead dwell in the feeling of oneness, the certainty that harmony is yours now. When your inner state is one of quiet, non-judgmental unity, external events align harmoniously and cunning evils lose their grip, replaced by purposeful action born of love rather than fear.
