Inner Covenant of Union

Neville's Inner Vision

Within your house, the disciples' question mirrors the restless talk of competing states in your own mind. The answer is not a decree about outward law but the alignment of consciousness with a single, chosen state. When you 'put away' a companion state and pretend to adopt another, you betray the unity you are called to honor, and the inner wind sows conflict—an inner adultery against your own I AM. The law Jesus speaks of is a law of loyalty: not to two opposed feelings, but to the one you have decreed as true. Your wife or husband here stands as symbolic images of the attitudes, identities, and purposes you entertain. To marry another while clinging to the first is to fragment your awareness, and thus you experience the pain of separation. The remedy is simple: decide a state of being, assume it fully, and revise any contrary rumination until the new state feels natural and permanent. In the eye of your imagination, the covenant remains intact as you dwell in unity with your I AM.
