Inner Code of Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

All the words are not external commands but states of consciousness you may inhabit now. When I tell you to keep my words, I am inviting you to guard your inner dispositions—the sentences you live by. To lay up my commandments with thee is to store them in the treasury of your imagination, so that every choice and perception proceeds from them. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye means to center your attention on the truth you choose to inhabit, as if it were your very sight. Bind them upon thy fingers and write them upon the table of thine heart translates into habitual acts and vivid memory: let your active life appear under the banner of this inner law. As you persist in this inner assumption, the sensations of life align with it—the world becomes the outward sign of your inner picture. You are not awaiting a future change; you are awakening to a reality already present within you, where the commandments are your living principle, the I AM you are becoming.
