Hearing Reproof, Becoming Wise

Neville's Inner Vision

In the stillness you are, hearing reproof is hearing life. The ear that hears it does not harden; it yields to the inner correction as if life itself were adjusting your image to its true state. Reproof is not punishment but a polite invitation from the I AM to leave behind a poorer habit and dwell in a wiser feeling. When you receive correction as information from the inner self, you refresh your consciousness and move closer to the wise state you already are. The wise are not a distant class; they are those who listen, revise, and act from a refined impression rather than from fear or pride. Humility and meekness bloom as you accept the inner audit. Faithfulness follows from obedience to the inner voice—consistency in listening and applying the revised image. So to hear reproof is to live in accord with life, and to abide among the wise is to dwell in the consciousness that corrects itself and remains awake.
