Gracious Speech, Wise Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Within you, the I AM, there is a single discernment: your words are the outward ripple of your inner state. When you align with the gracious mind of the wise, speech becomes a gentle instrument that blesses and clarifies; it does not chatter to prove its vitality but sustains the inner harmony you already claim. The fool, by contrast, talks from a restless ego—beginning in foolishness and ending in mischief—so his cadence reveals a mind scattered and uncentered. The Teacher of Ecclesiastes warns that a mouth full of words without inner discipline cannot foresee what shall be, for it moves in the dark of uncertainty. Yet you can choose a different inner traffic: assume you are the one who speaks with grace because you are the I AM speaking through you. Practice concise, kind, purpose-filled phrasing; let silence be a friend when thought runs ahead. In every moment, your imagination acts as the womb of speech: plant the end you desire and let your words proceed from that vision, steady, loving, and true.
