Inner Listening, Patient Speech

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that 'swift to hear' is not a command about others, but a declaration of your own awareness: you are immediately attentive to the I AM within, ready to hear the still, small voice of your true self. 'Slow to speak' is a discipline of your imagination; you pause the outer discourse and let the inner vision speak. 'Slow to wrath' is the refusal to allow a counterfeit sense of self to drive your form of life, for the wrath of man arises from lack and fear; it cannot birth the righteousness of God, which is your true state of harmony when you align with God within. When you observe from the space of the I AM, you do not react; you respond as the living law of your own consciousness, creating through attention and belief. The verse is a description of the mind in quiet, not a rule imposed from without. Practice: assume you are already the witness who hears and understands; let your words reflect your inner peace, and watch the outer events reflect this inner alignment.
