Nascent State Valuation

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's inner grammar, the child embodies a nascent state of consciousness—an idea, dream, or virtue just entering your awareness. The five shekels for a male and three for a female are not coins but the emotional energy you assign to redeem and stabilize that growing state. The Law, in this light, is a discipline of inner valuation: your awareness fixes the price, and your acceptance confirms the reality of that state. If you seek abundance or righteousness, honor the price your inner world dictates and dwell in the feeling that it is already yours. The male/female distinction hints at different flavors of consciousness—do you act from initiative or respond from nurture?—yet both are redeemable through the I AM that you are. By simulating that exact price and keeping the feeling of it as real, you crystallize the future into present experience. The covenant becomes merely the ongoing agreement with your own awareness: I am, and thus this nascent state is paid in full.
