Iron Neck Within: Inner Obedience

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of Isaiah's line as a description of your inner state, not merely a historical judgment. The obstinate you is the old sense of identity, the iron sinew of mental habit; the brass brow marks pride that resists truth. In the Neville method, observe this resistance as the invitation to shift your inner state rather than battle it. Begin with a fixed assumption: I am the I AM, the consciousness that yields to truth and loves obedience. By imagining this new posture, you soften the rigidity; you revise from within, allowing the hidden movements of awareness to reorient attitudes, feelings, and habitual thoughts. Do not force change by will alone; sustain the feeling of being taught by life, of a reality that is receptive and teachable. As you dwell there, the inner movements loosen, the neck relaxes, the brow softens, and outward circumstances align with this inward decree. Your true glory emerges as freedom of consciousness, not the self-admiration of an unyielding ego.
