Facing Fear with Inner Righteousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Fear is not a verdict imposed from outside, but a dream of consciousness that makes you forget the I AM. When you tremble before others, you deny the presence of God within and pretend to need their approval. Isaiah calls you to observe the inner pattern: you have lied to yourself because you have not remembered the constant witness within, the stillness that has held its peace through ages. The I AM is the mind that declares righteousness not by outward acts but by recognition of its own being. Your outward deeds, your clever scruples, and your religious performances can never buy you peace or profit you in truth, for they depend on a state you do not permanently inhabit. To profit is to awaken to the inner king who does not fear, who does not lie, who accepts the I AM as the sole measure. The remedy is simple: return to the inner state, assume the posture of the I AM, and revise the old narrative of fear. When you feel it real that you are the witness, the judgments of others lose their grip and your life becomes the expression of a righteous inner law.
