Silence Before Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold the moment in Job 32:15-16 where the crowd stands transfixed, speech withheld, and the mind presses pause before form. The noise of opinion recedes when the I AM within lights a new inner stage. You are not observing others; you are the consciousness that damps the outer momentum and invites the inner impression to dwell. The amazement is not fear but the soul recognizing truth beyond argument. When I waited—when I ceased to defend or persuade—the room stayed still because the inner state shifted. The outer words cannot meet the quiet of a belief that has already assumed its form. In that quiet, wisdom can enter; discernment reveals what is true; faithfulness to the inner light remains unshaken, and presence of God—your own I AM—speaks as stillness. Practice this: enter a moment of silence, assume the feeling of what you desire as already true, and let your wordless understanding stand. The more you feel it as real, the more your surroundings echo the inner verdict, and the other voices fall away in reverent listening.
