Biblical Context
Proverbs 24:2 speaks of a heart that studies destruction and lips that talk of mischief. It shows how inner motive shapes outer speech.
Neville's Inner Vision
Do not accuse others of malevolence; you are reading your own state of consciousness. The heart that believes in destruction is not a person’s deed but a mental assumption you have accepted as real. In Neville's language, God—the I AM—is the unchanging perceiver in which such stories arise. If your attention dwells on destruction or mischief, you are rehearsing a drama you think is true. The remedy is to return to the truth that you are awareness, not the thought, and to re-embody the feeling of harmlessness and integrity. By assuming this higher state, you dissolve the impulse to scheme and to malign. The lips will follow the inner alignment; when the heart rests in purity and truth, speech becomes honest, uplifting, and faithful. Remember: your world is a projection of your inner state; change the state, and the events—spoken words and actions—change accordingly.
Practice This Now
Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume the I AM as your living reality, declaring, 'I am harmless, truthful, and creative.' Feel that state until it saturates your heart and lips, and watch your speech align with truth.
