Inner Silence in Evil Times

Neville's Inner Vision

Amos 5:13 speaks to the inner ear: the prudent keep silent because the time is evil in the sense that you have allowed fear to swell in consciousness. In Neville’s terms, the 'time' exists inside as a belief; the prudent are those who do not feed it with spoken responses. When I, within, remain quiet and attentive to the I AM, I reorder the image by imagining the end already fulfilled. Speech becomes a tool of creation only when it is yoked to the consciousness of wholeness; otherwise it perpetuates trouble. Therefore I choose silent, precise attention to the desired state and I revise the mental picture accordingly. The inner silence is not passivity but a powerful act of faith, a discipline that aligns me with the reality I want to see. By obeying this inner truth—faithfully, lovingly, and quietly—the 'evil time' loses its grip as the outer world mirrors the transformed inner world.
