Inner Eye for Eye

Neville's Inner Vision

God does not strike with vengeance; the law of eye-for-eye is the inner state you project when you forget your oneness. The text speaks of a blemish done to a neighbor as if the world outside were a mirror of your inner condition. In the Neville view, anger and retaliation are not punishments meted from above but revelations of your own unhealed self-image. The moment you believe you are separate, you invent an outward ‘enemy’ and enact a matching effect to prove your claim. But the true judgment is inward: you choose what you hold as real in your consciousness. By assuming a different order—seeing the other as a presence within you, not apart—you revise the scene. Feel the return to wholeness now; imagine the other not as a violator, but as a manifestation of your own I AM awakening your awareness to unity. As you dwell in that perception, the hypothetical law dissolves into harmony. Your life becomes a field where causes and effects are commands of your inner self, not laws forcing retaliation.
