Inner Diet of Liberty

Neville's Inner Vision

Two beliefs about eating are but two states of consciousness within you. One asserts liberty, the other caution; yet both feign to be true while the I AM holds the whole field. Romans 14:2-3 invites you to notice that judgment and contempt do not originate in God but in a narrowed sense of self. When you imagine you may eat all things, you are expanding the field of awareness; when you imagine only herbs, you are narrowing it. God hath received him—thus the inner I AM receives every strand of your own mind, every conviction you call another. The inner kingdom is not divided by dietary preference but united by love that sees without condemning. Practice seeing both dispositions as waves in the same sea of consciousness, and feel your sense of self enlarging to include them. Your work is to revise the scene in which you judge and to dwell in the unity that God already beholds in you and in every believed brother.
