Biblical Context
Proverbs 3:1-2 urges the son to remember the law and keep the commandments in his heart, promising length of days, long life, and peace as the outcome.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the moment you hear 'My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments,' understand the law not as external decree but as the inner pattern of your I AM. Forgetting the law signifies slipping from the inner rhythm; remembering it means returning to harmonious alignment with the divine order already present within consciousness. The commandments become felt principles you cultivate in your chest—inner dispositions that govern how you imagine and respond. When you dwell in this inner law, the text promises length of days, long life, and peace not as distant rewards but as natural additions to your state of being. Your outer world reflects your inner state; any revision toward unity with this inner covenant invites longevity and serenity as effects of your assumed alignment. Practice, therefore, the art of assuming you live entirely under this inward rule, and let your heart beat in time with it. The more vividly you picture such order, the more your life unfolds as its blessing in form.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and silently affirm, 'I remember and keep the inner law; my heart is in perfect alignment with divine commandments,' then feel the steady, peaceful life being added to your days as you imagine it real.
