Inner Defense: Wisdom and Life

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened reader, this verse names your two defenses in the outer world, but it points to the inner sovereign power—the knowledge that makes life itself. In Neville's terms, defense is a state of consciousness you inhabit, not a bank balance. When you accept that wisdom defends you, you stop seeking protection from circumstances and begin to live from a living, knowing I AM presence. Money may shield the body, yet it cannot anchor the life that springs from true knowledge. Therefore, cultivate the inner faculty that shapes conditions: imagine the life you desire as already given, and rest in the certainty that your understanding of God as I AM is the source of all defense. Your outer world will reflect your inner discernment as you persist in the feeling of the wish fulfilled. Let the emotional tone be gratitude, not fear, and watch how situations rearrange to conform to your inner certainty.
