Biblical Context
1 Timothy 4:16 urges you to take heed of yourself and your doctrine, and to continue in them, for this discipline saves you and those who hear you.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the inner listener, the command is not a moral brush but a call to awaken to the state you presume yourself to inhabit. Take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine, for doctrine is the rhythm of your I AM, the inner law by which you measure possibility. When you continue in that truth—when your inner conversation, your assumptions, and the feeling of being already there align—you are saved, not by ritual, but by consistency of consciousness. The world you call external responds as the echo of your inner state; those who hear you are touched by the cadence you hold in your mind. So the suggestion to guard thyself is a reminder to guard your attention, to refuse to let fear or doubt creep into the place you call real. Your only salvation is to dwell in the end you desire, to prove to yourself that the invisible is the cause and the visible the effect. The I AM within you is God; imagination creates the outer scene when you persist in the inner decree.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the state of the I AM that guards itself and its doctrine; feel it as your present reality, then carry that certainty into every action today.
