Inner Feast of Compassion

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's terms, the feast is the activity of your consciousness. The 'poor, maimed, lame, and blind' are not others apart from you but inner states you have disowned—lack, limitation, fear, hurt, and old conditioning. When you 'invite' them into your feast, you cease resisting these parts and treat them with acceptance and generosity of imagination. The blessing does not come from external applause; it arises as you affirm that this very moment can recompense you with the just, the unearned return of life. Your attention lavishes worth on what you previously cast aside, and the inner movements respond as if they were a feast fulfilled. By blessing without expecting return, you enact the resurrection of the just within your own mind—the renewal of your terms of life, your sense of possible abundance, and the dawning of a new way of living. The 'recompense at the resurrection' is the subjective shift from scarcity to wholeness, from separation to union, and from fear to joyous acting in the present.
