Inner Counsel and Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Contention does not dwell in others; it is a state you inhabit when you mistake your 'I' for a separate, self-willed self. Pride is that posture of insistence, a restless claiming that demands own way and refuses the quiet counsel within. When you cling to such a stance, you push away the well-advised voice that is your own deeper nature, the I AM that knows the pattern of life. The wise adviser is not a critic outside you but the clear, steady awareness that already knows harmony. To hear wisdom, you must imagine listening to this inner adviser and then yield to the guidance as if it were your own decision. See the problem, hear the response, and feel the relief of resolution flow through you. The moment you revise pride and accept inner counsel, the inner conflict dissolves and creative solutions present themselves. Remember, wisdom is not a rule imposed from without but the alignment of attention with the I AM. When you dwell there, contention falls away and harmony becomes your natural state.
