Inner Alignment Proverb Insight

Neville's Inner Vision

Do you see the thief as a person outside you? In the Neville sense, the thief is a belief of lack arising in your own psyche. When you align yourself with theft—by condoning, rationalizing, or quietly participating—you cut yourself from your true self, and hate your own soul, for you are denying your I AM Nature. The 'curse' you hear is the echo of that inner denial, the self-reproach that follows the act as a movement of consciousness. The verse says you do not expose the thief to others, but you expose yourself to your own inner judgments, a reveals of the state you inhabit. The remedy is to revise your state: adopt the assumption that you are the I AM, the witness of all your experiences, utterly forfeiting any larceny in thought or deed. When you really feel this, the inner atmosphere shifts; your outer life reflects a new standard of integrity, and the curses fade as your awareness rests in wholeness. Remember: events are inner movements; the thief is a belief, not a man; choose the higher identity, and the soul is saved from its own trap.
