Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader, Proverbs 13:20 whispers that your friends are first a state of consciousness. The wise you walk with are the steady thoughts that love truth, the discernment that checks every impulse. When you dwell in that mood—seeing life through the eyes of wise imagination—you are walking with wisdom itself, and your inner I AM grows: a wiser you, a more certain path. Conversely, a companion of fools is not a person but a vibration of fear, doubt, and hasty judgment that you tolerate as if it were real. entertain that vibration and you invite a world of confusion and loss. The law is intimate and exact: consciousness precedes form. Therefore revise your inner circle by assuming you are now in the company of the wise; feel the quiet confidence, the unshakable balance, as if it were your natural state. If you persist, outer circumstances rearrange to reflect this inner alignment. The practical use is simple: cultivate wise images, converse with wise inner attitudes, and feel it real, until your life becomes the manifestation of your chosen company.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: In the present moment, close your eyes and imagine yourself walking in the company of two wise, steady voices. Repeat, 'I am now in the company of the wise,' feeling their calm confidence until it blooms as your new mood.
