Inner Law of Matthew 14:4

Neville's Inner Vision

John’s rebuke within the story is not a historical complaint but a call to your own awareness. The 'her' stands for a desire you entertain that would betray the inner order of your state of consciousness. The phrase 'not lawful' is the inner decree of your I AM, the pure law by which your life proceeds. When you identify with Herod, you identify with appetite; when you identify with John's voice—the inner voice of integrity—you align with spiritual law. The scene asks you to withdraw your attention from the impulse and to assume a higher self-sufficient outlook where you reverence the inner commandments. By imagining yourself in harmony with that law, you revise the situation in consciousness. The moment you accept the I AM as the sole power, the outer scene obeys, not by force, but by the natural order of your state of being. Your feelings shift from defense to quiet obedience, and what cannot stand with purity dissolves into peace.
