Wall, Bread, and Inner Stewardship

Neville's Inner Vision

Placed in the Nehemiah passage, the wall is not mere stone but the boundary I consciously keep in mind. I choose not to buy land, not to seek personal enlargement, and I feed a company of my people while refusing the governor's bread, so that the bondage of others is eased and the mind stays clear of rulership's pull. These acts reveal a state of consciousness in which the I AM governs by justice, where provision flows from an inner economy that answers need through right order rather than privilege. When Nehemiah says, Think upon me, my God, for good, this is the I AM inviting the focus of my awareness to register the good I have done for this people. The imagination, service, and governance I practice return to me as harmony and abundance when aligned with the good of all. Read this as your inner practice: cultivate stewardship and restraint as your standard, for in that alignment the wall you build becomes a fortress of peace, maintained not by force, but by the steady circulation of love and justice.
