The Wise State Of Mind

Neville's Inner Vision

Your outer world is but a mirror of your inner states. When the land (your life) is transgressed by fear and conflict, many princes rise—the squabbles of appearances, the loud opinions, the abrupt changes. Yet the message is not to fight them, but to awaken the man of understanding and knowledge within. In Neville’s sense, the only governance that prolongs the state is the inner assumption that you are now that wise ruler. When you persist in that consciousness—seeing yourself as the discernment that orders every thought, every desire, every choice—you align feeling and imagination into one decisive act. The outer world then follows suit, not by force but by resonance: the multitude of competing princes lose their power as the inner governor takes charge. Therefore the life of your land extends because your inner understanding governs the tempo and tone of every event. The inner state drives the outer state; the lasting ruler is consciousness itself.
