Charity Over Food, Inner Unity

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the cosmos of your mind, a 'brother' is a state of consciousness. The meat you offer is a belief, habit, or preference you project as real. When that state is wounded by your insistence, you testify to a split within: you are identifying with separation instead of the unity of the I AM. The gnawing sense that you must dominate a meal becomes a lesson that you only destroy what you do not acknowledge as you. The remedy is a revision: assume that the one who grieves is not a separate person but another facet of your own self, loved and already complete in the eternal Christ within you. In that inner realm, Christ died not for punishment but to reveal the indivisible unity of being; to 'die' is only to drop the old belief that you and your neighbor are two. Begin to act from the feeling that you and your brother are one consciousness, and the external meal loses its power to wound. Your job is to feel and imagine the harmony that already is, until it becomes your present experience.
