Inner Vows, Inner Authority

Neville's Inner Vision

Numbers 30:13 speaks of a vow whose binding power rests in the husband’s decision to uphold or void it. In Neville's terms, the letter is a symbol of your inner covenants—the commitments you have made in your states of consciousness. The 'husband' is the active I AM, the inner governor who can seal a decision into your assumed reality or revoke it by an inner adjustment. When you assent to a desire in imagination, you have established a kind of inner vow that invites its fulfillment; when you revise or release it, you are reordering the laws of your own mind. The clause is not a condemnation of obedience, but a map of inner jurisdiction: you, the consciousness, choose whether a given vow remains alive in your inner life. The fear that a vow might be voided becomes the signal to examine the state behind it—am I assuming lack, or am I aligning with the state of fullness? The practice is to become the ruler within: consciously decide, in the present, that the inner vow is kept or transformed by the I AM, and feel the truth that the outer world follows that dominant inner state.
