Inner Deed, Outer Return

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inward life is the government of your world. The 'nations' and 'kings' are the various attitudes you have allowed to rule your mind. They serve themselves of them—serve their own claims—because you have believed in separation and action apart from the I AM within. The line 'I will recompense them according to their deeds' is the law of inner causation: you reap what you have sown in imagination and feeling. Not as punishment, but as the natural affirmation of your inner state. If you persist in thinking and feeling as a victim, as though circumstances are independent of you, then your outer world will mirror that decree. But when you recognize that the I AM is the only governor, you can choose a higher and truer deed: harmony, justice, abundance. Rehearse the inner posture of one who owes nothing to lack and who serves the collective good by steadfast faith. The kingdom of God is within; your sense of self governs the measures of recompense.
