Inner Humility, Visible Piety

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine that the scene is not external, but within your own consciousness. When you perform any act to be noticed, you are declaring a state of pride as if it were the entire reality, and you invite the world to mirror that claim. The 'phylacteries' and the 'borders' are only symbols for the borders you draw around your own awareness—how you separate self-admiration from true worship. Neville's principle says: awareness is I AM, and imagination creates your lived experience. If you insist on being seen, you are not unseeing but choosing a persona; you are consenting to a reality where others' gaze validates you. But you can reverse this by turning inward, recognizing that your true worship is the alignment of feeling with your sacred sense of self, independent of applause. By imagining the Self as already whole and unconditionally seen by the I AM, you collapse the need for outward display and awaken the humility that is simply attentiveness to inner truth.
