Gates of Righteousness Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Open to me the gates of righteousness. In my practice, the gate is not a door in a wall but a state of consciousness I choose to occupy. The gate of the LORD is the inner alignment of my I AM, the steady awareness that governs my experience. When I assume I am already through, I stop begging and begin praising, because praise is the natural attitude of the authorized tenant within my own mind. The righteous enter because they train imagination to dwell in the feeling of completion, not in the wish for it. So I revise any thought of separation into the conviction that I am already where I seek to be, standing inside the gate and blessing the name of the LORD with gratitude. This is not a distant event but a present shift—from lack to fullness, from longing to acknowledgment.
