Quiet Words Before God

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the verse as a chart of inner life: rash speech is a sign you have not yet aligned with the I AM. God is in heaven—the unlimited awareness you are—while you are upon earth—the arena of sense and circumstance. When you feel compelled to utter, pause and recognize that your intended word reveals your current state of consciousness. If you speak from fear, complaint, or habitual reaction, you feed a pattern that remains separated from the One Power within. If you revise and choose silence, you enter a space where true action arises from awareness rather than impulse. The instruction to let thy words be few becomes a discipline: fewer outward phrases, more inner certainty that the I AM animates all you say and do. Your imagination is the instrument by which you correct the alignment; imagine the situation already resolved in peaceful, complete consciousness, and your next utterance will be a statement born of inner truth, not of want. In practice, the silence is not absence but a focused readiness for right speech that serves the whole.
