Inner Jealousy Reimagined

Neville's Inner Vision

Jealousy here is not a crime to be proven, but a state of consciousness that visits the mind. The husband who feels 'the spirit of jealousy' is not measuring truth with evidence; he is reacting from a belief formed in his own awareness. In Neville's terms, the wife’s supposed defilement is a symbol borne by inner disposition, and the 'spirit of jealousy' is the moving image of a lack of security within the I AM. To change the outer, one must first revise the inner: assume you are already in a state where innocence, integrity, and harmony prevail; see the imagined scene and alter its meaning by affirming that all is well in the realm of consciousness you inhabit. The law of consciousness says that what you accept as true becomes your experience; therefore the husband’s unrest can be dissolved by sustaining a new assumption about his wife and about himself—a trust that replaces fear. When you persist in that inner state, external appearances follow fit, and the so-called defilement dissolves in favor of wholeness.
