The Inner Silence Command

Neville's Inner Vision

From a Neville Goddard viewpoint, the outer decree to answer is but a surface decree. The 'king' is the voice of doubt and circumstance, and the 'people' are the states of mind within you—habit, fear, habit of argument—that yield to silence when pressed. To 'hold their peace' is to let the inner I AM operate without interruption. In the quiet, the I AM is not forced to prove itself; it simply is, and by that being, it asserts reality. Your assumption must be that the inner command, not the outer shout, governs all outcomes. When you cease feeding the appearance with argument, you allow a new life to be born from within, a life where your awareness is the only power. The apparent king loses its tyrant hold, and your consciousness awakens to its own sovereignty. This is not a denial of reality but a transformation: the world bends to your inner state when you embody the silent authority that you already are.
