Foreseeing Evil and Self-Preservation

Neville's Inner Vision

In this reading, the 'evil' is a movement of consciousness you anticipate; the prudent man, seeing the inner script as it would unfold, withdraws into the safety of the I AM. 'Hide' is not avoidance of life but revision of the scene in imagination, a choosing of inner steadiness over fear. The 'simple' who passes on acts from a belief that danger is outside and permanent, and so their life tends to echo that belief. Your outer world, Neville teaches, is the visible creation of your inner state. If you insist on threat and scarcity, you will meet them; if you cultivate the feeling of safety as your natural state, you displace the old script. The moment you hold the idea that you are unassailable, you are already out of danger. This is a law of consciousness: to dwell in the I AM is to shelter yourself from the imagined evil, and to let reality conform to that sacred self.
