Silent Command of the Inner Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as a symbol of your inner kingdom. The crowd bow to a king's decree and remain mute; yet the true drama unfolds in your consciousness. In Neville's psychology, events are movements of a state of mind. To hold their peace is not obedience to a man but to a formed condition of mind that refuses to pepper reality with needless words. The commandment to answer not is the ego's urge to defend, justify, or prove; when you refrain outwardly, you are affirming the I AM, awareness itself, and aware that you are the one who frames the scene. By not responding, you permit the inner truth to speak unpolluted by reaction. If you fear losing control, revise the scene in imagination: you stand as the still, timeless I AM and the decree passes while you remain unmoved. The outer drama then becomes a reflection of a new inner state—quiet, confident, unshaken. Remember: your life is a state of consciousness; mastery comes when you insist on inner silence while the outer voice struggles to speak.
