Open Rebuke, Inner Truth

Neville's Inner Vision

Open rebuke is better than secret love becomes an inner sentence: The rebuke is the voice of your own I AM, waking you from dreams of limitation. The secret love is the self-soothing that keeps you attached to a false sense of safety. When a friend’s words wound, they are not evil; they are faithful signals from a state of consciousness that refuses to settle for less than truth. The wounds are not cruelty but fidelity, cutting away illusion so you may revise your inner story. The kisses of an enemy—flattering appearances that pretend harmony while you cling to old beliefs—are deceitful because they do not invite growth. Neville’s practice is to welcome correction as love, to treat every inner rebuke as guidance from the I AM toward wholeness. See that your imagination creates, so choose images that align with your true self. The inner friend and the inner deceiver are aspects of you; choose the friend, the one who speaks truth, and restoration follows as a natural result of alignment with God within.
