Inner Joy, Inner Knowledge

Neville's Inner Vision

Proverbs 15:13-14 speaks of the merry heart that lifts the countenance and the sorrow that breaks the spirit; it also points to the life of understanding that seeks knowledge instead of folly. In Neville’s octave, these verses become a map of inner states. The 'I AM'—the aware self that you truly are—does not wear sorrow as an identity; sorrow is a misalignment, a belief in separation from your inherent wholeness. When you hold the merry heart as the living reality of your consciousness, your face becomes the outward sign of your inward alignment, and your faculties cooperate with your inner conviction. The heart that understands is not merely clever in calculation; it is awake to the fact that knowing comes from within, from attention directed toward divine ideas rather than external stimuli. The fool’s mouth feasts on repetition of folly because it refuses the discipline of inner revision. Your practice is simple: assume you are the source of wisdom, revise every moment of gloom into a fresh sense of being, and feel knowledge as already present in you. In that revision, imagination becomes reality.
