Inner Stranger, Inner Neighbor

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the stranger is not a person apart but a shadowy state of consciousness that appears in your land as a call to heal separation. To vex the stranger is to resist your own wholeness; to welcome him is to widen the borders of your inner kingdom. When you regard the stranger with love as yourself, you acknowledge that you and the other are the same I AM, kin in spirit, because you once lived in bondage as Egypt-bound mind. The verse does not command charity from the outside; it invites a change of inner weather: the awareness that there is no other in the land of your mind, only versions of you needing acceptance. As you practice this inner hospitality, your 'land' becomes secure, the 'stranger' becomes a trusted guest, and unity rises. Remember, the I AM God within is not a distant ruler but the very awareness that loves and provides. By assuming the feeling of oneness toward any seeming stranger, you rewrite the script of separation into permission, praise, and inner peace.
