The Oath That Spared

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the awakened I AM makes peace with its fictions and swears to spare them. The princes of the congregation are your higher states of mind that decree a covenant; when you perceive the 'neighbors' in your own life—the habits, fears, and memories that dwell within—you do not turn from them. For once you have sworn by the LORD your inner God, you may not strike at them. The murmuring of the multitude is the ego's protest against a new order, but the inner rulers insist: 'We have sworn; we cannot touch them.' So you reallocate their energy: they become hewers of wood and drawers of water in your inner economy, serving the whole community of your consciousness. The oath creates mercy and steadiness, preventing wrath from erupting in your days. This is not about others; it is about your own state of consciousness. When you revise your assumption to align with mercy and obedience, the inner scene changes, and harmony rises where there was fear.
