Inner Will and Heart Law

Neville's Inner Vision

This passage is not about a distant event but about a shift of consciousness. 'Lo, I come' signals the moment you turn, inside, and take your seat in the state where you are the author and the actor of your life. When it is written 'in the volume of the book,' the scripture declares that your life is already scripted by your inner state; the you that is aware of the I AM. 'I delight to do thy will, O my God' becomes the feeling, not a command to an external deity, but the natural joy of obeying your own divine nature. 'Thy law is within my heart' means the law you live by is not carved on stone but engraved in your consciousness—the habitual thoughts and feelings you accept as true. In Neville's teaching, you revise your sense of self by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled: you imagine yourself aligned with the divine will and thereby rewrite the present, turning the page toward a life that reflects your inner covenant. The outward appears as the echo of an inward state.
