Inner Speech and Upright Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

All scripture, in this light, is a description of your inner state. The 'thoughts of the righteous' are not external opinions but the right states of consciousness that feel true to you. The 'counsels of the wicked' are lingering suggestions of fear, doubt, or condemnation—deceit masquerading as strategy. When you entertain such deceit in imagination, you bind yourself to it; when you believe you are being plotted against, you become entangled in the outcome you dread. The words you utter are not mere sounds; they are the outer motion of an inner conviction. The 'mouth of the upright shall deliver them' indicates that by maintaining truthful, fearless speech—the outward demonstration of inner rightness—you free yourself from the bondage of deceit. Therefore, cultivate an inner sheriff: refuse the lie and rest in the I AM that you are. If you revise a negative thought into a truthful one and declare it, you will see the world arrange itself to reflect that conviction. Imagination is the instrument; your state of consciousness is the law.
