The Inner Gospel of Not Killing

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this verse is a map of your inner laboratory. The sermon begins with the old external rule, but the real commandment governs your state of consciousness. When you call another fool or nurse a grudge, you are killing life in your own mind; separation births a judgment that corrodes your sense of wholeness. The law you fear resides in you as the belief in two powers and two selves in conflict. The remedy is to assume the feeling that you are one with all life, that the other is an expression of the I AM you worship. In that assumption, you dissolve the split and stop the inner murder by choosing forgiveness, blessing, and unity. Persist in the revision, and your outward world will mirror the inward peace; the sense of threat gives way to oneness. The Gospel then is not a prohibition on action but an invitation to awaken by re-identifying with life itself and recognizing that you are, in truth, the life that lives as all.
