Inner Laws, Inner Living

Neville's Inner Vision

Egypt and Canaan are not lands but states of mind you once inhabited. The LORD your God—the I AM that you are—dwells in your very awareness, and thus the command to keep my judgments and mine ordinances is a summons to inner order. To 'live in them' is not a ritual to perform but a shift of being; it means letting the inner laws govern your sense of self and your choices. When you imagine and feel as if you already obey these divine statutes, you awaken a new vitality that the outer world follows. The act of obedience becomes a reverent listening to your own inner governor, not a striving after external codes. By refusing to imitate the old cultures, you give attention to the life that truly exists in your awareness, and your life aligns with that inner law. In this way you are keeping covenant loyalty with your real self, walking in holiness by the steady practice of the inner statutes.
