Inner Contempt Revealed

Neville's Inner Vision

Proverbs 18:3 speaks of contempt and reproach that attend the wicked; in Neville’s language, this is a diagnosis of your inner state, not a verdict on others. When you feel contempt toward someone, toward yourself, or toward a situation, see it as a signal that your consciousness has wandered into lack or separation. The “wicked” you fear is the stray thought that you are not enough, the voice that judges too quickly. Contempt and reproach then surface as the weather of that inner climate, often showing up as outer trials that echo your inner accusation. To transform it, return to the I AM—the unchanging awareness that you are already complete. Assume the feeling that you are beloved, just, and whole, and let that assumption repeat until it feels real. As you keep that state, the inner movements shift and the outer scene loses its sting; judgment dissolves when the inner lover of truth stands in place of fear.
