Silence as Inner Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville's lens, the call for silence is a call to shift the state of consciousness. 'O that ye would altogether hold your peace' becomes an invitation to withdraw attention from outer drama and to rest in the I AM, the witness who already knows. When you quiet the chatter of the ego, the 'wisdom' you seek is not found in arguing or proving a point, but in the inner sense that your own consciousness is creative and responsive. 'Hear now my reasoning' is not about Job persuading others; it is the inner reasoning of your true self, speaking through you when you align with stillness. The 'pleadings of my lips' become the movements of imagination—the ideas you entertain, the images you hold, the feelings you activate. By insisting on inner listening, you discern truth from fear, permanence from change, and you begin to see that peace is not the result of outcomes but the mode of your awareness. Thus, to honor this passage is to cultivate a faithful inner state where silence is your wisdom and discernment follows.
