The Peril of Guarantor Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the consciousness you call I, to guarantee another's affairs is to borrow trouble from a future you do not own. The word 'stranger' in this proverb is not literal but a projection: a risk imagined in the mind by which you tether your peace to outcomes outside your awareness. When you vow to be the guarantor, you are practicing a belief that your security rests in the favors of the world rather than in the one presence you truly know—the I AM. This is why the one who hates suretyship seems secure: they refuse to stake their life on another's trouble and thus withdraw their power from the imagined ledger. The antidote is simple in practice: assume a state where your supply, safety, and future are already provided by the I AM, independent of any external promise. Revise your mental account: I am the I AM; I am safe; I am sufficient; all debts are dissolved in consciousness. When you live from that inner certainty, you release both yourself and others from the burden of imagined obligations, and reality begins to respond from your settled, peaceful state.
