Inner Household Mastery

Neville's Inner Vision

Think of the 'household' as the living arrangement of your own consciousness—your thoughts, beliefs, habits, and emotions. 'Looking well' to it means you fix your attention, with the I Am, on the order you desire, not on the chaos you fear. Idle bread is the belief that nothing can be changed, the dream of delay. When you surrender to such idleness, you starve your imagination of fuel. But you, as the I AM, oversee the inner economy; you imagine the conditions of your life as if they already exist: a disciplined mind, orderly routines, and fruitful outcomes. Each moment you redirect attention from lack to the desired state, and you revise any apparent contradiction with a simple, confident assumption: that your inner house is tending itself to the good. The result is not external effort alone, but the alignment of belief with action, yielding an outer world that mirrors your inner discipline. In this alignment, the verse becomes not a command of externals but a call to nourish the self with unwavering attention and the certainty that imagination creates reality.
