The Gate of Upright Truth

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the gate in your own mind as the point where consciousness chooses its narrative. The rebuker in the verse is not a person apart but the voice of truth within you challenging a belief you have clung to. When that inner correction arises, the crowd—your habit, pride, and fear—may turn against it, and you may sense rejection in your mind as if the world rejects the upright speaker. Yet in Neville's sense, rejection is only your own resistance to a higher perception you are becoming. The upright speech is the alignment of your I AM with reality, the moment truth is allowed to stand in the light of awareness. To abhor it is to cling to a false identity; to welcome it is to attend to your divine state and to let the mind be governed by possibility rather than limitation. When you revise your inner sense of self to match truth, the supposed gatekeeper dissolves, and your life becomes a faithful echo of a single, stable I AM.
