Inner Paths of Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that you are not chasing mercy, but choosing to inhabit mercy as your own state of consciousness. The 'paths of the LORD' are the lines of your inner movement when you live by the covenant, by truth, and by loyalty to your own divine I AM. Mercy and truth are not outside forces; they are the two qualities you cultivate within—compassion that perceives, clarity that discerns, and a discipline of imagine-keeping that aligns every thought with the law. When you keep the covenant and testimonies, you are not performing rituals but entering a consistent state in which your awareness recognizes sin as mistaken perception, not a fixed fact. For Thy name's sake means you act as if your life carries the divine signature, and forgiveness becomes a natural correction in your inner weather. The magnitude of iniquity is measured by your belief in separation; as you remember your unity with Truth, pardon reveals itself as the soul's natural response.
