From Above, Earthly Envy

Neville's Inner Vision

James names a subtle rebellion of consciousness: envy and strife dressed as wisdom. In the Neville sense, such wisdom is not from above but sprung from a separated mind clinging to what it lacks. When you feel bitter comparisons or petty contests, you are not learning truth; you are rehearsing a belief in division. That inner weather—envy, judgment, the urge to outshine another—produces a fog in which confusion grows and every evil work finds room to move. The remedy is not a battle against others but a revolution in your own state of awareness. Real wisdom comes from above, the inner I AM that knows unity, peace, and abundance. If you would walk in that wisdom, you must revise the sense of self that identifies with lack and separation and align with the one life expressing as all. Hold the conviction that you are already the wise person you seek; imagine and feel from that center until it becomes your habitual mood. Then the outer scene rearranges to mirror the above.
