Inner Nazarite Vow Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the verse, the Nazarite vow is reframed as a choice of consciousness. It is not merely a ritual; it is a decision to set apart one's attention and life from habitual, lower states. The 'law of separation' becomes a mental discipline: a committed state of awareness in which imagination consecrates what you attend to and what you withhold from your sense-world. The offerings symbolize the qualities you present to the inner Lord—the I AM—reflecting the results of your chosen state. When you agree to the vow, you align your inner life with a fixed center, and your outer world will conform to that inner stance. The line 'according to the vow... so he must do' translates to: your outer actions mirror the inner state you have consciously embraced. The lesson, in Neville's terms, is that your imagination is the instrument by which you enact the vow; you are already the state you vow to inhabit, and the world becomes your mirror of that inner separation.
