Inner Leadership Awakening Jeremiah 10:21

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's psychology, the 'pastors' are the leadership of our own consciousness—the guiding states by which we rule our inner world. When these inner governors neglect the LORD, which is the awareness I AM within, they become brutish, automatons driven by fear, habit, or pride rather than inspired perception. The verse does not condemn an external set of leaders but recasts it as a warning to the mind: if you forget to seek the LORD within, your plans do not prosper, your thoughts scatter, and your sense of unity dissolves. Prosperity, in Neville's sense, is alignment—a feeling that the I AM is guiding every decision and impression. The remedy is simple: return to the inner LORD, assume the feeling of abiding guidance, and revise all judgments that separate you from that unity. When you imagine a single, attentive inner governor steering your mind toward harmony, the scattered flock of thoughts reassembles, and success follows as a natural inner regulation.
