Inner Counsel and Downfall

Neville's Inner Vision

All outward outcomes flow from the inner councils you entertain. The king's choice to trust destructive advisers after the father's death is not a mere political misstep, but a state of consciousness that chooses fear-dressed thoughts over truth. The phrase 'to his destruction' points to the inner consequence: thoughts that justify control, self-protection, and compromise of integrity lead to ruin in perception and deed. See the counselors as patterns of your own mind—habits of judgment, fear, and appetite—that govern your actions when you forget who you are. Neville would urge you to reverse the scene by assuming a wiser inner adviser—the I AM that knows, loves, and sees clearly. When you mentally imagine that the true counsel speaks through you and you feel that guidance as real, your outer choices align with wisdom and discernment. Obedience to the higher self becomes natural; the fall becomes a wakeful turning. Your responsibility is to inhabit the I AM and trust its quiet, steadfast direction.
