Inner Reproof and Wise Alignment

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of each reproach not as a weapon aimed at your person, but as the gentle keystroke of your own inner I AM, inviting you to awaken to truth. The wise man does not panic at correction; he receives it as a signal that he has slipped from alignment and now may return. In this light, the verse about reproof entering the wise becomes a law of consciousness: what you resist in yourself you magnify; what you consent to in imagination, you permit in life. When you act as if you are already living from a higher idea, you invite correction to refine your decisions, not to punish your soul. The evil man who rebels discovers his own dream of separation reflected back as crisis; the wise man, by accepting the correction, closes the gap between what he is and what he aspires to be. To claim peace, you do not deny fault; you revise it inwardly until the feeling of virtue - calm, discernment, just judgment - becomes your reality. Thus, every quarrel begins as a leak in your inner water supply; seal it with a decisive, loving conclusion that you are now aligned with divine order.
