19And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

Deuteronomy 29:19

Biblical Context

A man hears a curse and blesses himself in his heart, promising peace while he walks by the imagination of his own mind, which saps true balance.

Neville's Inner Vision

Here, the curse is not a future doom but a state of consciousness you adopt. To hear the warning is to hear a signal that you have forgotten your true I AM and are rebranding inner images as reality. When he says, I shall have peace, he is blessing a dream of peace into a life that still clings to the imagery of the heart—drunkenness added to thirst, a restless supply drawn from appearances. Neville would say: the only real land is the I AM that witnesses; all external conditions echo the inner pictures you entertain. The remedy is not moralization but a revision of the inner script: refuse to identify with the dream and re-identify with the timeless presence that is always peace. In practice, assume that belief and feel the truth of it. 'I am at peace now' becomes your dominant state, not a future hope. Let the mind drop the contradiction; the inner image shifts and the outer circumstances follow, not by control but by alignment with the one I AM.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly for five minutes, revise the inner script to 'I am at peace now,' and feel that certainty saturate your breathing and posture.
