Morning Resolve and Inner Plotting

Neville's Inner Vision

Micah's warning speaks to the inner man, not only to a world of doctrine. In my state of consciousness, the ones who devise iniquity are thoughts I entertain in the quiet of the bed of imagination; when the morning light arrives, I rehearse them because I still trust the power of my hand. But the I AM—the awareness I am—cannot be fooled by names or appearances; it creates by attention. If I hold an image of domination as real, I awaken it into form; if I revise that image and grant it no life, it dissolves back into possibility. Therefore I refuse to find power in coercion; I choose to see the end of my day as one of righteousness and just dealing. I calm the restless plotting by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled—that I have acted with integrity, with mercy, and with fairness—until that inner feeling saturates the mind and the outer world follows. The "morning" becomes a moment of true awakening, not a stage for fear, and the "power" is recovered as the I AM's sovereign action in me.
