Inner Wisdom vs Foolish Belief

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, Proverbs 14:15-16 speaks not of outer facts but of inner states. The 'simple' who believes every word is a mind carried by passing impressions, a follower of appearances. The prudent man, however, trains the imagination to look to his going—he rehearses the end from the end, and thus determines the next inner movement that becomes outer life. The wise man fears—this fear is not terror but restraint: a disciplined awareness that suggests avoiding evil thoughts and courses. The fool rages in confidence, yet that confidence is mere agitation, an unrevised state clamoring for its own validation. When you dwell in I AM, you choose which inner movement becomes your reality. The observer within, not the crowd without, decides what you believe will unfold. Practically, you revise by assuming the state you desire as already present, letting the feeling of its reality permeate your being until the old fear or mere belief fades. In so doing, you depart from 'evil' not as external danger but as misalignment with your true state of consciousness.
