The Covenant Of Guarded Eyes

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the message is not about prohibition but about the state of consciousness in which you live. The eye that looks outward is a sensor of a deeper act of attention. When Job says he covenants with his eyes, he names a decision of the I AM to govern what is allowed to occupy consciousness. In Neville's terms, your world is the stage of imagination, and the images you fix upon are the creations of your inner state. To entertain a thought of another as separate from your own divine being is to concede a fragment of reality to fear or longing. Instead, revise by assuming the nobler identity—already pure, already whole, already capable of seeing only what honors that identity. Your feelings will follow the assumption; the moment you drift into a wandering image, you return to the truth that you are the author of your inner weather. The act of covenant is the act of returning to I AM awareness, where separation dissolves and holiness becomes your natural disposition. Thus, the outer sight reflects your inner fidelity: your eyes guard the doorway to a sacred life.
