Inner Discipline: 1 Timothy 1:20

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, Hymenaeus and Alexander are not distant names; they are the two stubborn habits of mind you entertain when you forget the I AM within. To deliver them unto Satan is to permit the lower picture you have formed in your mind to stand outside your higher awareness, so it may feel the consequence of its own blasphemy—the belief that you are separate from your God-given nature. In Neville's language, judgment is not punishment from without but the natural correction of law within your consciousness: you reap what you have imagined. When you refuse to align with the I AM, you create a split, and the 'enemy' arises as a teacher until you choose to return to unity. The healing comes when you reinterpret the situation—imagine Hymenaeus and Alexander as old stories you have outgrown—and assume the truth that you are the I AM, sovereign and pure. This is repentance not as guilt but as a redefining of self in alignment with your higher reality.
