The Inner Love Command

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the command is not a surface obligation but a doorway into the kingdom of consciousness. Loving the Lord becomes the I AM recognizing itself as the doer of every thought and feeling; you are not wooing an external deity but aligning your inner faculties with one sovereign awareness. When you claim love with heart, soul, strength, and mind, you are declaring that every movement of consciousness—desire, attention, memory, imagination—is oriented to a single Lord within. To love the neighbor as yourself is to treat every other character in your inner drama as a reflection of your own state of being; the other is not separate but a projection of your own current level of consciousness. By holding this integrated love, you revise your sense of separation, and the world you perceive responds as a mirror of that assumption. Your obedience and faithfulness become steadiness in imagination, not external rituals. The kingdom is within, and the law is love imagined into form.
