Listen Before You Answer

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture the scene as a movement of your own inner state. To answer before you hear is to dispute with the very wording of your own life, a reckless impulse that ignores the full vibration of reality. You are not the rushing thought; you are the watcher, the I AM that observes the scene and then speaks. When you refuse to answer from the mere impulse, you invite the higher hearing—your inner sense that gathers every nuance, pauses the lips, and tests the truth against your unwavering calm. The verse is a reminder that the spoken word should arise from the fullness that has already heard, understood, and integrated. By dwelling in the consciousness that has heard, you align your words with truth and fidelity, revealing that folly and shame were only products of impatient mindsets. Allow imagination to render the scene as you desire: the moment of hearing precedes any response, and your next words flow from the clear certainty of inner listening. In that state, you become the I AM of wise communication, accountable to the truth within you.
