Inner Laugh at Fearful Calamity

Neville's Inner Vision

The plain meaning is that calamity comes when you harbor fear, but in the Neville reading, calamity is a projection of your inner disposition. You are the I AM, the awareness that simply is; events do not touch you until you consent. When fear arises, your mind is rehearsing a future in which destruction and distress appear as though real. The voice that says God will laugh at your calamity is the laughter of your higher self at the futility of fear as a master. It is not a call to deny hardship, but a call to refuse to identify with the fearful state that manufactures hardship. Therefore, assume a different state—one of unwavering presence, calm, and confidence in the I AM. By dwelling in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, you become the observer who witnesses fear dissolve as you hold your inner attention on unshakable reality. As you persist, the outer disturbance loses its grip because it has no footing in the I AM's sovereign space. The verse becomes an invitation to revise your consciousness, not to resist external events.
