Opening Ears to Divine Instruction

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this scene I hear, not a distant decree, but the inward act of self-awareness being tuned. When the I AM awakens, the mind’s ears are opened to a quieter instruction that speaks beyond ego’s scheme. The verse says He seals instruction, and thus the inner counsel is protected from the noise of personal will. This is not punishment but a refinement: a withdrawal from a proposed project born of pride, a gentle, inexorable turn toward what is truly alive in you. Pride is exposed not by judgment but by the gentle pressure of inner recognition that ideas have a life of their own in consciousness. If you identify with the I AM, you perceive that “the pit” and “the sword” are fear and reaction, not outer calamities; they are the acts of thoughts that threaten your peace. The divine whisper insists that you revise, not erase, your aim—so that your world becomes a reflected image of your inner alignment, not a stubborn reproduction of old self-will. In that alignment, you are preserved, not by force, but by the tranquil authority of your awakened consciousness.
