Inner Edge of Wise Action

Neville's Inner Vision

Scripturally, this verse speaks to the states of consciousness rather than tools. The iron is your effort when your awareness is unfocused; unless you whet the edge—the sharpened attention and decision you hold in mind—you must exert more force with less result. In Neville’s way, the blade is the realized state you assume in imagination. By imagining a present possibility as already true and acting from that inner certainty, you align energy and intention so that action flows with less strain. Wisdom, the discernment of what is essential, becomes the directing faculty that directs each move toward its aim. Where others blunder through weariness, the edge of discernment guides you to the exact action, reducing waste and struggle. The edge is your I Am, the awareness that scripts reality. When you dwell in the belief that you are already in possession of the outcome, your mind trims the work to its true form. The result is a sharpened life, and labor becomes a precise, elegant expression of inner truth.
