Inner Fear Beyond Vanity

Neville's Inner Vision

In Ecclesiastes, the inner weather is depicted as a procession of dreams and a chorus of words that tug consciousness in countless directions. Yet the only firm ground is the fear of God—the reverent attention of the I AM that will not be distracted by surface entertainments. If you mistake thoughts for guidance, you are rehearsing vanities; the mind multiplies distractions when you seek external proof. The I AM does not multiply outward images to validate reality; it remains constant. When you align with that inner Presence, vanities soften and disappear. Fear of God becomes not dread but a steady posture of awe, a choice to let awareness govern every impulse. When you declare, “I am,” and dwell there, imagined scenes retreat and a quiet center endures. The instruction is practical: fix your attention on the I AM as the source of all you desire, and let that reverence direct you rather than the incessant chatter of dreams.
