Soft Words, Calm Hearts

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the quiet center of your being there is a stream of I AM awareness. When you are tempted to answer harshly, you are not addressing an insult but a storm in your own consciousness. A soft answer is not a tactic out there; it is the creation of a new atmosphere within you where you choose to dwell. By assuming a state of calm, you align your imagination with peace rather than discord. In this state, words arise as balm rather than weapon, and the other person mirrors the inner weather you hold. The moment you refuse to feed the fury with imitation, you discover that wrath dissolves, for you have turned the wheel of causation from reaction to response. The verse invites you to practice the art of listening and blessing in imagination, knowing that every word uttered from inner stillness reshapes the outer scene. Remember, God is I AM, and your awareness can revise what seems so real by merely inhabiting a gentler self and speaking from that light.
