Quiet Power Of Listening

Neville's Inner Vision

James 1:19 speaks a simple discipline, yet when seen through the I AM, it becomes a revelation of inner alignment. You are not commanding ears to perform; you are choosing a state of consciousness in which you hear first. The inner man who is swift to hear dwells in a quiet Now, where impulsive judgments are checked by the awareness that every word you utter arises from your own inner state. If you identify with the I AM, you experience speech as a consequence of inner listening, not as a weapon to wield. Slow to wrath is the discipline of imagining a peaceful inner court, where anger cannot take root because you refuse to project your ego into circumstance. By assuming you are the listener who stops the script before it begins, you revise habitual reactions. Speak only from the memory of your divine quiet, and your words will carry healing rather than fire. Practice this: before any exchange, assume you are the observer in charge of perception, and let your inner listening dictate your outward response.
