Inner Dignity Over Flattery

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville Goddard's psychology, this text invites a study of states of consciousness: to refuse accepting another's person or flattering titles is to free the inner man from dependence on appearances. Flattery is the currency of fear, used to control or flatter the ego; when you stand in the I AM within, you no longer negotiate worth through reputations or labels. The maker here is your own awareness, an unchangeable I AM that disapproves of insincere praise. By choosing integrity as your inner law, you align with the indwelling presence and open the outer world to a cleaner, truer expression of righteousness. Your imagination can then rewrite the rules of judgment—from social currency to inner truth—so that every scene reflects justice, dignity, and accountability. Start from the assumption that your value resides in the I AM, not in others' accolades, and watch reality conform to that calm state.
