Listening to Truth Within

Neville's Inner Vision

To read this proverb through the Neville lens, the 'wicked doer' and the 'liar' are inner states, not distant characters. To heed 'false lips' is to allow deceptive thoughts to govern your inner dialogue; to listen to a 'naughty tongue' is to entertain gossip that tears at the fabric of your awareness. Your outward life is the echo of the speech you dwell upon within. When you, the I AM, refuse to feed those inner deceits and instead hold the image of truth, you starve the illusion and awaken your real power. The revision is simple: select a sentence of truth and make it present fact in your imagination. For example, say, 'I am the truth of my being; my words reveal reality as I AM,' and feel it as already true. Persist in this inner listening, and the seductive lips fade; the inner life becomes clear, and your judgments align with light rather than shadow. In time, the outer world reflects that inner alignment, and deceit loses its grip.
