Boundaries of Inner Justice

Neville's Inner Vision

Take the proverb as a map of your inner state. The 'old landmark' is not a stone but a fixed state of consciousness you carry—beliefs about possession, control, and what is rightly yours. To move it is to invite chaos into your mental soil, and you will find yourself trespassing on the ‘fields of the fatherless’: the neglected, dependent, and vulnerable parts of your own being or others you encounter. The 'fatherless' stand for those broken, tender aspects seeking rightful place and protection. The phrase 'their redeemer is mighty' points to the I AM within you, the mighty principle of awareness that cannot be moved or compromised. It will 'plead their cause with thee' by awakening your sense of justice in every choice: you will feel a pull toward fairness, mercy, and guardianship rather than exploitation. When you acknowledge this inner advocate, you align your actions with the law of consciousness: you do not claim against another’s ground; you stand as guardian, offering protection to the vulnerable, while recognizing that you are also that vulnerable part in another form. In such alignment, inner righteousness becomes outer reality.
