Hearing Inner Instruction

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Proverbs 5:12–14 the inner drama is clear: the speaker despises instruction, and that aversion is a state of consciousness that keeps him from his true self. The 'congregation' is not a crowd outside you, but the chorus of your own thoughts, and 'reproof' is the gentle correction of imagination by your higher I AM. When you say you hate instruction, you affirm a self that cannot be guided; thus you wander toward harm because you have refused the inward counsel that orders all things. The cure is a deliberate assumption: you imagine yourself already obeying every wise voice, listening to your inner teachers, and acting in harmony with them. Revise the past by declaring that rejection has melted away; feel the relief of obedient thinking and the clarity that follows from alignment with I AM. As you dwell in that revised state, your world shifts; you find yourself protected from the edge of evil by the quiet discipline of awareness. You are not distant from virtue—you have merely turned away from the inner guide. Now you choose to listen, and you become faithful to your true self.
