Inner Peace vs Imagined Safety

Neville's Inner Vision

Jeremiah 23:17 exposes the inner voices that flatter the ego with imagined safety, telling those who despise the Lord and those who walk after the imagination of their own heart that peace is guaranteed and evil will not touch them. In the Neville reading, 'they' are states of consciousness—the habit of clinging to comfort while divorcing from truth. Peace, in truth, is not a purchase from pride or self-deception but the fruit of obedience to the I AM within. When you hear a counterfeit prophecy—that no harm shall come because you follow a rosy image of yourself—you are hearing a call to revise your state. Your manifested world mirrors your inner alignment; the external peace promised by self-will dissolves as you replace it with the faithful image of your unity with God. The discipline is simple: assume you are already the I AM, feel the reality of that oneness, and revise any statement that contradicts it. As you dwell in that unity, truth and faithfulness become your apparent conditions, and the imagined safety of ego dissolves into living assurance.
