Silence Reveals Inner Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, silence is the deliberate posture of consciousness. The fool’s voice arises from a restless ego; the wise man’s stillness arises from I AM—the unprovable yet certain awareness that orders all images. When you hold your peace, you are not denying life but disciplining your imagination: you refuse to project a restless drama and instead imagine the scene from a higher, centered state. In that quiet, outward appearances align with the inner truth you have already assumed. The world becomes a mirror of your inner conviction, and your discernment is measured not by loudness but by the steadiness of your inner sense of rightness. So the verse is not about external silence alone but about aligning your being with the state that would produce wise action without effort. You are invited to treat every moment as a choice of states: the noisy self and the knowing I AM. Choose the latter, and the seeming issues resolve within the field of consciousness.
