Softening the Neck of Self

Neville's Inner Vision

Pause and see that the 'hardening of the neck' is a state of consciousness, not a decree from without. Reproof arrives as a loving impulse from your I AM, inviting you to release a stubborn belief. When you treat correction as external judgment, you stiffen inwardly and cut yourself off from the flow of life. But when you take the correction as a direction from your higher self and assume its truth, you soften the neck of your mind and align with wisdom. Destruction then ceases to loom as fate and becomes a symbolic ending of an old self-image that no longer serves your true being. The phrase 'without remedy' dissolves into a conscious turning: you choose a new assumption, feel it, and live as the aware, obedient I AM that guides you.
