Inner Exclusion Unveiled

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 24:4 presents the outward drama of powerful men turning the needy away, so the poor hide themselves together. In Neville's practice, this is not about blaming people but reading the inner posture of your consciousness. The 'needy' are the neglected possibilities, the forgotten aspirations, the sensibilities of mercy within you. The act of turning them away is the moment your awareness believes scarcity—an inner fence that makes you withdraw from compassion. Remember: God is the I AM, and imagination is the instrument by which states are born. If you notice any scene of exclusion in your life, you are simply uncovering a belief that you must protect yourself by shrinking love. The remedy is a revision: assume that the entire life is responsive to your inner state; feel the presence of those you once pushed away as already included in your sense of self. When you 'feel-it-real' the unity of all beings, the external world begins to reflect it, and the needy do not stand outside but inhabit the circle of your awareness.
