Inner Covenant of Knowledge

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, this verse speaks not of geography but of a state of consciousness. The 'rest of the people' and 'those who separated themselves to the law of God' symbolize faculties of the self that choose to withdraw attention from the clamor of the lands and to align with an inner divine order—the I AM within. 'The law of God' becomes the inner law of truth as a present-remembrance, an immutable principle that governs feeling and imagination. When one decides to separate, it is a deliberate renunciation of external definitions in favor of inner certainty. The result is 'knowledge and understanding'—not merely facts, but a felt sense of alignment: concepts that once stirred doubt become clarity, and confusion yields to discernment. In Neville’s method, you practice by assuming the state: imagining you are already living under the inner law, letting your awareness assume this covenant as real and personal. This inner covenant creates a psychological space where your thoughts bend toward truth, and your world follows the imagined outcome. The verse, then, is an invitation to persist in the consciousness that you are governed by a law deeper than appearances.
