Inner Gate and Strife

Neville's Inner Vision

In this verse you are confronted with a choice of inner states. To love transgression is to consent to a mind that breaks the law of harmony within your being, a mind that thrives on disturbance. Exalting your gate symbolizes an egoic door you hold to prop up status, defense, or control. When you cling to that gate, destruction follows as the natural consequence of living out of alignment with the I AM—the awareness that sustains wholeness. The remedy is to return to the recognition that you are the I AM and that all perception arises from one Source. By revising the inner narrative—refusing to fight for superiority and choosing peace—you re-create the scene in which conflict dissolves. See the self-imposed drama as a miscasting of reality, and affirm, 'I am the I AM, harmonious and undivided; my world reflects that unity.' In that interior turning, strife loses its power and the gate becomes a passage into unity rather than a fortress of ego.
