Neville's Inner Vision

Adultery, in the sacred text, is not merely a social act but a misalignment of the inner image. You are not divided from your source; yet when you entertain a rival passion, you trust a counterfeit image to fulfill your longing. That split in attention is the lack of understanding Proverbs names, and it wounds the inner self, your soul, because you drift from the one sovereign image by which you live. The decree a wound and dishonour shall he get is your own imagination enforcing separation as real. In Neville's view, every person is a state of consciousness, and the world is the outward echo of the inward decree. To heal is to return to the undivided I AM, to refuse to consent to any image that splits desire from its true object. The law of your being rewards fidelity to your inner image with integrity, not shame. So you revise by choosing the one you truly desire, and you feel it real as already accomplished.

Practice This Now

Sit quietly and declare I am the I AM, undivided and whole, with attention resting in one harmonious image. Then feel that unity as already real in this moment.
