Inner Resolve in Temptation

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville's ear, the outer tale is only a symbol of the inner state you must possess to live in peace. The woman's gaze and her words are not she and his master’s house; they are the vibrating conditions of your own consciousness, calling forth a moment of choice. Joseph is not a mere boy in an ancient story; he is a state of consciousness grounded in the I AM, the awareness that cannot be swayed from its truth. The offer to lie is a thought-form drawn from fear, desire, and the belief that your worth depends on external approval. Your job is to stay seated in your divine seat, to say, 'I am', and to align with purity as a law of your being. When the temptation arises, you revise the scene in imagination: you acknowledge the impulse but announce your allegiance to your inner law, and you feel the resolution as already complete within you. This is obedience and faithfulness, not denial; it is the recognition that your reality is created from within.
