Inner Paths of Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

All the scenes in Proverbs 15:18-24 are not about other people, but about the states of your own consciousness. A wrathful man is a man held by a stormy I AM, one who projects his inner turbulence as outward strife. Slow to anger is not merely patience; it is a decision of the I AM to be the stillness that writes the sequence of your life. The hedge of thorns the slothful mind fashions is a mental thicket you build by habit, and the way of the righteous is plain because it follows the natural order of your inner nature when you align with it. Counsel becomes inner counsel, the many voices of your own faculties seeking harmony; when you listen to them and revise your state, aims no longer fail, they become established. Joy rises from the right word spoken in due season, because your inner speech conforms to truth. The way of life is above the lower currents of fear and calculation, for you choose to dwell in the awareness that creates your world.
