Inner Law Contends With All

Neville's Inner Vision

All laws exist as states of consciousness. To forsake the law is to capitulate to appearances, to identify with lack, fear, or the appetite of the crowd; in that moment you are praising the wicked, because you yield authority to conditions rather than to your I AM. But the keepers of the law are not stubborn opponents of life; they are servants of inner order, standing in the primal truth that you are the one who writes, with your imagination, the terms of your world. When you keep the law, you do not fight people; you contend with the inner movements that pretend to govern you—doubt, lack, envy, limitation. Contending, in the Neville sense, is aligning every moment with the fact that you are the ruler within, the law made flesh in awareness. Imagination becomes your action; faith is a sustained feeling that your state is already achieved. Therefore, the outward scene bows to the inner decree as the I AM remains unshaken.
