Proverbs 26:4-5 Inner Response

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the I AM, the fool is a symbol of a state of consciousness convinced of its own cleverness. You are not debating a person so much as disciplining your own attention. When you refuse to answer, you protect the integrity of your inner world, keeping your energy from sinking to the level of contention. When you answer according to the folly, you risk feeding the dream and becoming like unto the fools you oppose. The key is discernment: observe with compassionate detachment, and let your inner stillness do the work. If your words are needed, speak to clarify your own position rather than to convert another; otherwise, remain silent and assert the majesty of the I AM through your presence. The inner state creates the outer scene; change your attention and the outer world reflects that changed consciousness.
