Inner Taxation, Inner Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

These verses are not about taxation at a street corner, but about the inner economy of your being. The publican appears at the river, anxious to know how to live rightly. John's answer is not a rule about coins; it is a statement of your inner law: do not take more than what is appointed within you by your own I AM. In Neville's language, exactness is an alignment of appetite with allowance, a decision in consciousness that there is enough for the moment and no need to grasp or exploit. When you imagine yourself as the man who receives his due by virtue of inner worth, you stop chasing the surplus and you begin to live from a finished state. The sensation of limitation dissolves as you accept your appointed share, and with that acceptance your world mirrors fairness and order. The act of obedience becomes a practice in awareness: revise any sense of shortage into sufficiency, and feel the move of reality shift to your single, sovereign I AM.
