Inner Tongue and Divine Testing

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's view, the passage is a map of inner life, not distant history. The LORD is the I AM within your awareness, melting away false states and testing what you have accepted as real. The image of the tongue as an arrow shows that outward words disclose inward posture: peace proclaimed with the mouth while deceit lurks in the heart. When you find yourself speaking nicely to others while your inner disposition plots or waits, you are living the inner law of cause and effect—your inner state creates your outward world. The mother figure, the 'daughter of my people,' is your own evolving self, your innermost nature, being refined by truth and love. If deceit persists, the inner visitation and correction come, not as punishment, but as the inevitable shaping of consciousness back to its rightful function: truthful, faithful relationship with yourself and with others. Thus, judgment in the text is a mirror of how your thoughts and speech must align with your higher self for harmony to prevail.
