Inner Alignment of Proverbs 17:20

Neville's Inner Vision

Proverbs 17:20 invites a return to the inner cause: the froward heart and the perverse tongue are not random flaws but states of consciousness that repel real good and invite mischief. You are not at the mercy of the world; you are the I AM, the awareness in which all figures move. When consciousness is bent toward self-will and grievance, it cannot behold what is true, and words become weapons that awaken trouble rather than truth. The remedy is simple in principle and radical in practice: assume that you are already aligned with truth’s order. Feel and affirm, 'I am the I AM, upright, faithful, and free from the compulsion to judge or misrepresent.' Speak from that end result, not from lack or fear, and watch your inner and outer life harmonize. Accountability becomes not punishment but adjustment: a revision of the living moved through your imagination. The mouth follows the mind’s new posture, and the mischief you feared dissolves as the true good reveals itself.
