Goodness Beyond Names

Neville's Inner Vision

From Neville's vantage, the scene invites you to see that good is not a public label but an inner state of awareness. When Jesus asks why call me good, the answer lies in your own consciousness: the only good is God within you, the I AM that animates every act. The commandments you recall are not external rules but interior orientations of mind you can imagine and feel as real. The text invites you to live as if you already are in harmony with divine order, not by obedience as a duty to a distant lawgiver, but by the recognition that the law is the law of your own consciousness. Obedience and holiness arise from a clear inner alignment; separation dissolves when you accept that your being is the expression of the one good. Your daily acts become the living proof that the good is resident in you, and your imagination provides the form through which that godlike quality manifests in time and space.
