Guarding Speech, Guarding Life

Neville's Inner Vision

Your mouth is not merely a tool for sound; it is the visible banner of your inner state. To keep your mouth is to keep your life because you are not separate from the word you emit. When you entertain thoughts of fear, anger, or pride and then unleash them as speech, you broadcast a vibration that dissolves boundaries and invites disruption. Conversely, when you guard lips and let only the I AM speak through you, you sustain a harmony that harmonizes circumstances with your inner decision. The 'destruction' spoken of is the outcome of a life out of alignment—thoughts unchecked become phrases, phrases become conditions. The moment you refuse to feed your ego's impulse, you revise the present image you are projecting. You are not subject to others' reactions but to the state you inhabit. Practice seeing yourself as the master of words by entering the quiet before response, and letting the I AM form your words in love and truth. In that quiet, life is preserved and order is restored to your experience.
