The Inner Covenant Temptation

Neville's Inner Vision

In the inner theatre of faith, the 'woman' is the alluring image of pleasure that arises when the mind senses lack and the inner guardian (the I AM) is momentarily distant. The scenes of peace offerings, vows, and decorated beds are not external events but images within consciousness that pretend to fulfill a void. The man’s attention drifts toward sensation, as if fulfillment lies in the next encounter, while the true state of being—your I AM, your vow-keeping self—remains unchanged. The power of these seductive scripts lies in belief; to disarm them, you must inhabit the state you seek as already real. Reclaim the room of your mind by affirming that you have paid your vows and that your inner goodman remains at home within you. When the imagination presents its alluring bed, meet it with the awareness that you are the I AM, sovereign over every image. refinement comes not by denial, but by revision in consciousness.
