Overcoming Pride Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Cast the rage of your own wrath into the light of awareness, and behold the proud image at work in you. In this story, Job’s demand that the proud be abased is not a threat to others but a mirror of your inner state. You are not wrestling with people outside you; you are inviting your own I AM to witness and extinguish the boastful self-identity. When you look upon the proud within and bring it low—tread it down by refusing to identify with it—the force that you call God awakens in you. The "dust" and the secret bind are the old self’s last-image habits, hidden from surface view; as you release them, you discover that salvation is not earned by struggle but realized by alignment with the one Power inside you. Then the hand that saves is your own right-hand awareness—the power of feeling, imagining, and assuming the state of wholeness. In that moment, the seeming danger of pride dissolves into the quiet confidence that you are governed by the I AM.
