The Inner Council Turning

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the inner council of your own mind, upon hearing a new truth voiced by your imagination, is 'cut to the heart'—a shattering of pride by the light of awareness. The line 'took counsel to slay them' becomes not a historical act but a vivid image of habitual thoughts banding together to suppress a newer, wiser version of you. The 'they' are inner states—doubt, defensiveness, the urge to prove yourself right—that decide to destroy the messenger of possibility. In Neville’s psychology this is not external persecution but your consciousness resisting a fresh impression. The remedy is simple: when you sense the impulse to kill the idea, turn your attention to the I AM, the witnessing awareness that already accepts truth. Feed the feeling of the end as real; imagine the messengers as harmless visitors and dwell in the conviction that the truth is present now. As the mind yields to that higher impression, the alchemical energy of fear is transmuted into faith, and your ordinary life begins to align with the imagined reality you chose to inhabit.
