The Fool's Pause: Inner Action

Neville's Inner Vision

Ecclesiastes 4:5 reveals not a mere social caution but a state of consciousness warning: the fool is not simply lazy but inside, who folds his hands and eats his flesh. In Neville language a man is what he assumes himself to be; the fold of hands is a mental act, a refusal to exercise the mind's creative power. When you refuse to imagine, to revise your feeling to the condition you desire, you starve your life of consciousness, and you literally consume yourself as energy refused to be given form returns as fatigue and futility. The God within, the I AM, is the living invitation to act from certainty, to imagine the end from the beginning. The verse invites you to choose your inner state: assume that you are already the person you want to be, see yourself in the desired moment, feel it as present reality, and let that inner act complete itself in outer events. The fool's inactivity becomes a warning that reality follows inner movement; the remedy is a disciplined, constant feeling it real that your world is formed by your inner tones.
