Blessed Path Within the Law

Neville's Inner Vision

Blessed is the state of consciousness that remains undefiled when I, the I AM, align with the divine order within. To walk in the LORD's law is to live in harmony with inner principles that govern all experience. I keep the testimonies as living truths in my heart and seek Him with my whole attention, letting the whole being lean toward truth. They do no iniquity: I walk in His ways by refusing to entertain thoughts or actions that violate inner law. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently becomes an ongoing inner pledge: I persist in keeping these precepts in imagination, until they feel as real as any outward habit. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes: I revise my inner direction to be led by thy statutes, and I feel my inner compass steadier. Then I shall not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments: as I align, shame dissolves into quiet confidence. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart as I learn thy righteous judgments, and I will keep thy statutes; O forsake me not utterly. The inner practice is this: imagine the law shaping my life and feel it real until outer action follows.
