Inner Hatred of Control

Neville's Inner Vision

To the I AM within, the words speak not of hate in the ordinary sense, but of a holy disgust that clears the field of belief. The 'Nicolaitanes' are not primarily persons here; they are patterns of external authority, devices of separation and ritual that pretend to lift you up while binding you to forms. When you read, 'this thou hast,' you discover you already possess an inner armor: a taste for integrity that rejects such deeds as counterfeit worship. The moment you understand that you hate what keeps you from the one Reality—that inner unity called God—you awaken the true authority within. Your world then shifts because you are not fighting people but a mistaken self-concept; you revise it by claiming that the I AM rejects all devices of control. So you cultivate the inner state by assuming you are free from manipulation, and by feeling your perception governed by the pure desire for holiness.
