The Inner Tree of Life

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader of Neville's path, the verse signals an inner ordinance rather than a list of external rules. 'Blessed are they that do his commandments' means you align with the inner law of your I AM, your constant awareness. The commandments are inner patterns of thought, feeling, and choice that harmonize with life itself. When you live in accord with that inner order, you acquire the right to the tree of life—the vivid energy and immediacy of God within you. The gates into the city symbolize the opening of consciousness to wholeness, safety, and purpose. If you persist in the assumption that you are already guided by this inner commandments, you awaken into the city now; you pass through without doubt. The practice is simple: assume you are complete, revise any sense of separation, and feel the life you seek as your current experience. Obedience isn't constraint; it is the alignment that makes your reality legible as the divine city.
