Inner Covenant of One Father

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this oracle, the whole drama is played in the field of consciousness. You are told there is one Father, one God, the I AM that you are aware of at this very moment. When you feel separate from another, when you judge or withhold love, you are treacherously breaking the inner covenant you share with the God within you. The 'daughter of a strange god' represents any alien belief, habit, or desire you let occupy the sanctuary of your heart. By entertaining such images, you profane the holiness you love, because you replace the living presence with images that do not sustain you. The warning that the LORD will cut off the man who does this is really a turning of your attention to the consequences of inner dissonance: your outer life will mirror the inner split, and ritual offerings lose their substance. Yet this is an invitation to revision: restore unity by aligning every thought, word, and act with the one I AM. Worship becomes holiness when your inner temple is kept pure by conscious, unbroken devotion.
