Gatekeepers of Inner Esteem

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the gate as the doorway of your own consciousness, the inner city where decisions are made. When you step to that imagined seat, you are declaring I AM—the awareness that needs no outer validation. The young men in your mind represent fresh impulses and doubt; as you assume the seat, they withdraw, revealing the aged—wisdom formed by trial. The princes hold their tongue; the nobles stop talking, and the mouth grows quiet because your inner authority has taken command. This is not theater for others; it is the alignment of your state with reality. Practice: assume you are already at the gate with all wise elders listening; feel the quiet power of their consent, and let the impulse to speak fade, replaced by the certainty that your inner will is done. When you rest in that inner decree, your outer world responds to your new state as the evidence of imagination in form.
