Inner Guard of Knowledge

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the LORD as the I AM within you, the attentive awareness that does not forget what is true. The 'eyes' are your own waking perception, kept awake to the knowledge you have accepted as real. When you hear yourself murmuring a doubt or repeating someone else’s critical word, you are witnessing the transgressor’s voice; yet that voice is overthrown by the steadfast gaze of your inner I AM, which refuses to feed it. In Neville’s terms, what you insist upon with feeling becomes your world. Therefore, to interpret this verse is to practice the revision: acknowledge that truth is preserved by your consciousness and that any negation is overturned by your focus. Your interior governor keeps what you have learned intact and neutralizes scattered judgments. So when you feel tempted to condemn or fear, rest in the conviction that your awareness is the custodian of knowledge, capable of overturning every disturbing word by the simple act of definiteness. The outer world then follows your inner alignment; your Providence guides you toward wisdom, discernment, and faithful perception.
