Teach Me Inner Correction

Neville's Inner Vision

Behold, the line teaches you a spiritual discipline. The self asks to be taught, not to argue; the tongue is to be held until the inner teacher speaks. You are not praying to a distant deity but to your own I AM, the awareness you consistently are. Teach me and I will hold my tongue means I consent to the inner revision of your self-image. When you declare, cause me to understand wherein I have erred, you acknowledge that error is a roll of consciousness—an old pattern pretending to be you. The moment you assume you are taught, you enter a state of receptivity. In that state, the whole universe becomes the faculty of understanding; the thoughts you believed were you dissolve into quiet, and a new understanding appears, gently showing where you stood in error and how to revise. It is not punishment but a soft alignment of desire with truth. Humility opens the door; willingness to be taught is faith in your inner teacher. Practice this inward correction, and wisdom arises as a natural movement of awareness.
