Mercy Balances Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To 'turn thou to thy God' is to awaken to the I AM within—the living, watching awareness that never leaves you. The deceitful 'merchant' and the 'balances' are the mind's trick of pride: it tells you that riches and power prove your righteousness, while it hides the truth of oppression beneath a ledger of numbers. In Neville's tone, you revise by assuming a new inner state: mercy joined to discernment, patience joined to action, sight joined to love. When you dwell in this inner economy, wealth is not a weapon but a substance formed by right use, generosity, and truthful dealings. You stop measuring value by external accumulation and begin measuring by how your thoughts and choices sustain life for others. The inner correction lowers the ego’s demand for praise and raises the divine standard of justice. As you persist in this consciousness, the outer world becomes a reflection of your inner alignment, revealing judgment and mercy in balance rather than in conflict.
