The Inner Law and Freedom

Neville's Inner Vision

The verse speaks to the inner climate of consciousness. The “law” is not a distant decree but a fixed pattern of thoughts and expectations within you—an internal rule about how life should unfold, what you must do, or what you must fear. When you cling to that inner law, wrath arises as the self-judging voice answers to that rule, creating inner conflict and a sense of punishment. Yet where there is no such internal law—where you suspend the need to measure yourself by a rule—you cease to feel you have committed a transgression. You are not yielding to a punitive external system; you are returning to the I AM, to the awareness that you are already complete. The tension between obligation and freedom shifts into a quiet certainty that your reality is formed by awareness, not by a stubborn code. In this light, the gospel becomes a practical invitation: replace the external sense of law with inner faith in the I AM, and watch the feeling of wrath fade as you remember your true nature as consciousness.
