The Inner Commandment of Love

Neville's Inner Vision

John 13:34-35 invites you to claim a new order of consciousness: love as your inner standard, love as your practical reality. 'As I have loved you' means you embody that self-giving, not as a duty to others apart from you, but as the nature of your own awareness. When you recognize the I AM behind every face, your love ceases to be a reaction and becomes the steady atmosphere in which appearances arise. In this inner state, you treat others with the same care you would offer your own true being, forgiving quickly, acting with generosity, and listening from a center of unity. The world recognizes you not by rules you keep, but by the vibration you radiate—a unity that dissolves separation. By living as if this love is already real, you rewrite your relationships; you revise old dialogs, and you feel the truth that all are one in the Mind that you are. This is the discipleship: a living proof of love that is always already present in consciousness.
