Inner Conduct, Quiet Suffering

Neville's Inner Vision

Peter’s warning names outer acts—murder, theft, evildoing, or meddling—as things one should not suffer for. Yet in the Neville Goddard sense, these remedies point to inner states of consciousness. You suffer not from the world’s judgments, but from the consciousness you choose to wear. To suffer as a murderer is to identify with a violent self; to suffer as a thief is to feel lack and shape your world from it; to suffer as an evildoer is to live in a compromised moral atmosphere; to suffer as a busybody is to be bound by others’ affairs. The invitation is to refuse those identifications and return to the I AM, the unchanging awareness that creates your scenes. If you catch yourself in one of those states, revise: 'I am not that state; I am the one who carries integrity and separation.' By the power of imagination, you sow a new mental soil and your surroundings bloom to reflect that inner mood. Your obedience is not to external law but to the law of consciousness. Live as one who is pure, discerning, and free, letting inner boundary radiate through every choice.
