Speech's Shadow: Foolish Dawn, Mad Dusk

Neville's Inner Vision

All speech is a mirror of your inner state. Ecclesiastes 10:13 warns that starting from folly sets the tone for the entire utterance, culminating in mischievous madness if the inner movement remains untransformed. In Neville's psychology, the I AM—awareness itself—governs every word; your speech manifests the state you entertain within. If you begin in confusion, fear, or vanity, you hand the pen to those energies, and your ending speech becomes the natural consequence. To change the result, assume a higher state now: that God, your awareness, directs your sentences toward truth, clarity, and constructive outcomes. Invite a revision at the root rather than merely editing the words. When the old impulse arises, declare internally, with feeling, that your end of talk is wisdom, peace, and useful insight. Let your inner conviction lead the cadence, tone, and pace of your speech, so the beginning and end harmonize under the sovereignty of I AM and the imagination you wield to shape reality.
