Charity Beyond Words: Inner Speech

Neville's Inner Vision

Your outward talk is but the echo of your inner state. If you speak with the tongues of men and angels yet entertain no charity, you are sounding brass—a hollow note in the air. The invitation is to shift your center of gravity from cleverness to mercy. In Neville's language, God is the I AM awareness; to be true to that I AM is to dwell in charity—forgiveness, compassion, and grace. When you imagine yourself as love incarnate, your words carry the living music of mercy, even when they are simple. The moment you assume I am charity, you revise your entire mental atmosphere; you reinterpret every utterance as an expression of love you are choosing to give. The world does not judge your phrases, but the consciousness behind them. So practice: claim, 'I am charity now,' and feel how your speech changes because your inner state has changed. If you persist, even your most ordinary words awaken to grace.
