Inner Justice and Stranger Love

Neville's Inner Vision

Where Leviticus speaks of honoring the hoary head and loving the stranger, I tell you, this is not outward ceremony but an inner disposition. The hoary head is the aged aspect within you—wisdom that you rise to, a state of consciousness that commands your reverence. The stranger is any idea or habit you have allowed to dwell with you; when you welcome it, you acknowledge your own unity with all life. The command to love as thyself is your recognition that you and the Other share the same Source, the memory of Egypt—the bondage of lack and fear you once thought real. When you judge not with wrong measures, you are aligning your inward scales with the divine balance that God himself sets in your mind: right judgment, right price, right weight. This is covenant loyalty: you are faithful to the I AM within, who moved you from bondage to freedom, from fear to awareness. Practice seeing yourself as the one who issues the verdict of love and justice, and the outer world will adjust to your inner law.
