Deep Waters of Speech

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner world is the deep pool from which every spoken word arises. The verse does not condemn words but invites you to notice they are the surface of a greater inward stream. In the state of consciousness I call I AM, the external world is the echo of the inner speech. When you believe that the mouth speaks from a dry well, you imprison wisdom; when you assume the wellspring is within, your sentences become currents that shape your experience. To hear wisdom you must dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled and speak from that place. The waters are not random; they are the self acquiescing to truth. Practice the shift: in your quiet, imagine a vast inner reservoir; every time you speak, feel that you are drawing from that reservoir, letting your words reflect clarity, love, and discernment. As you revise anxious or doubtful phrases, you release the judgment and invite a higher image. Your life follows your speech because imagination fashions reality; your words become the wellspring that becomes your world.
