The Quiet Power Within Speech

Neville's Inner Vision

Zophar's rebuke of the multitude of words is really a call to the inner auditor: beware the mind's habit of talking to avoid facing stillness. In Neville Goddard's register, every outward utterance betrays your inner state; a man full of talk is a curtain behind which fear or lack of clarity hides. The true 'justification' comes not from the outer voice but from an aligned state of consciousness. When you feel compelled to speak, drop behind the words and imagine that the I AM—the awareness you truly are—is already whole, complete, and unshaken by circumstance. See that your life is the projection of a belief you hold about yourself. By revising that belief, choosing a new feeling of assurance, you begin to speak from quiet power rather than noise. Your imagination, not your argument, shapes the outcome; you awaken to the fact that truth is born of inner trust, not public display. Let the inner witness forgive idle talk and guide you to a more concise, peaceful, and effective expression.
