Inner Banquet of Blessing

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the dinner as the inner life you are consciously hosting. If you fill the feast with only the familiar—the friends, the able, the safe—you keep your consciousness in a small, transactional sense of life. Yet when you invite the poor, the maimed, the lame, and the blind—the neglected urges, fears, wounds, and limitations—the inner banquet becomes a genuine act of hospitality toward every facet of your being. The blessing pronounced over such a meal is not a reward from others, but a shift of awareness: you align with the I AM, and gratitude expands as you permit all parts of yourself to be fed. In this sense, the resurrection of the just is an inner awakening: you awaken to a life that acknowledges no separation between you and God, realizing the feast is already prepared within. Your outward world will reflect this inner harvest—greater generosity, less judgment, and a feeling that life is blessing you back from the inside out.
