Inner Thanksgiving Law

Neville's Inner Vision

Your present sense of self is invited to observe the law as a discipline of consciousness. The prohibition of killing mother and her young in one day becomes a metaphor for not annihilating the two states of yourself in one moment—your higher ideal and your lower impulse—before you have fully given thanks. The instruction to offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving of your own will liberates the act from mere ritual; it is an inner alignment where willingness precedes form. When you decide to offer gratitude, you declare the I AM as the ruler of your inner weather, and the act is completed that same day because the mind chooses to end the movement there, not allowing lingering doubts to survive. The final clause, I am the LORD, anchors your consciousness; obedience is not compulsion but recognition that awareness is the real lawgiver. In this light, true worship is the joyful, conscious conclusion of desire into gratitude, a daily act by which you align every thought and feeling with your God-willed self.
