Inner Work Against Sloth

Neville's Inner Vision

The slothful man's desire is not merely idle want but a state of consciousness that refuses the unity of thought, feeling, and action. Killeth him signifies self-imposed ruin born of inner disconnection; his hands refuse to labour exposes a realm of inertia within the I AM that ignores its own creative power. In Neville's terms, you are the I AM and your imagination is the instrument by which you birth reality. When you dwell in lack or delay, you contract your power and permit the dream of scarcity to govern you. But by assuming a new state I AM the active, inventive I AM; I labour in imagination and move to expression, you align desired movement with inner action. The moment you treat desire as a call to inner labor rather than a mere wish, you awaken an inner momentum that converts thought into form. The verse thus becomes a guide: unite desire with disciplined inner work, allow your inner activity to precede outward labor, and life follows that reverent, persistent movement.
