Inner Sheep, Wise Serpent Vision

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM that you are, this verse is not instruction to flee or to fight, but a description of your inner state. The wolves are the clamor of fear, the doubts and judgments that stir your mind when you forget who you are. The sheep stands for your innocence, your awareness unmasked by neediness, behaving not by force but by fidelity to the truth you hold in imagination. To be wise as serpents is to exercise discernment in your inner dialogue, to observe thoughts without becoming attached to them, to use irony and precision rather than reaction. To be harmless as doves is to unleash love and harmlessness as the effect of your consciousness, not simply as outward behavior. If you find yourself in a tense scene, remind yourself: I am the I AM present in this situation, and I am choosing to respond from inner truth. The appearance of wolves cannot disturb the inner state that you have assumed. Your practical life will adjust as you dwell in this dual quality—and reality will bend to the consciousness you maintain.
