Quiet Work, Inner Discipline

Neville's Inner Vision

Observe, beloved, that the 'disorderly' among you are not a group apart; they are the sign of a restless consciousness in you. When you say 'they are busybodies,' you are naming the inner habit of meddling thoughts and divided attention. In the kingdom of God, which you are, the I AM that you call God is the unchanging awareness that imagines your life into being. To change the outward scene, you do not correct others; you revise your inner assumption. See yourself not as a spectator of others' conduct but as the one who dwells in a steady, quiet activity of purpose. When you entertain the state of creative productivity, the mind that once wandered gradually aligns with action that serves neighbor and community. The disorder fades as devotion and unity replace resistance; love becomes the atmosphere in which all can contribute without fear of being overwhelmed by others' complaints. Your task is to hold the vision of a disciplined, compassionate mind and feel it as real now, and your world follows the inner pattern you sustain.
