The Fool's Path to Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Let no man deceive himself: the outer mind, no matter how clever, is but a reflection of the surface. When this world-laden voice says you are wise, you are being invited to become a fool in order to discover real wisdom. The true intelligence you seek is not a trick of thought but a state of consciousness—the I AM that is always awake, watching the play of forms. To be truly wise, you must treat your present self-image as a passing appearance and invite a deeper awareness to rule. The worldly 'wise' trust their masks; the inwardly wise surrender those masks to the light of awareness and permit the inner kingdom to govern. In this shift, you do not vanish; you become perfectly present as the I AM, and discernment flows from that inner center. Your life then becomes a clear reflection of the one intelligent presence within you, not the shifting opinions of the crowd.
