The Spirit Constrains My Speech

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, the line “For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me” speaks not of limitation but of the current state of consciousness you live from. The ‘matter’ is your inner content—images, beliefs, and feelings you continually rehearse. The ‘spirit within me’ is the I AM, the awareness that chooses what your life will express. When you feel an inner pressure to speak or act, it is the mechanism by which your present state seeks to express itself. Do not fight it; use it as a cue to shift. Assume you are already in the desired state, and feel it real in your chest, imagining the inner conversation aligning with that state. As you embody the revised state—with calm, clear affirmations and a quiet listening to the I AM—the external scene begins to respond. The presence of God is not distant; it is the immediacy of your aware being, and your world follows your inward state.
