Inner State, Sudden Calamity

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the text, the 'naughty person' is not a distant villain but a state of consciousness that rehearses harm through language, glances, and tiny actions. The wink, the footstep, the gesture become a theater by which the inner frowardness plants mischief and sows discord. Neville-style reading sees this as a law of thought: act, speech, and intention are vibrations issued from the I AM; when those vibrations are discordant, the outer world mirrors collapse and sudden calamity follows, as the fixed pattern can no longer sustain itself. The remedy is to reverse the identifications: claim the I AM as your true self, the source of harmony and clear intentionality. When you assume a new state—calm, honest, constructive—the old "naughty" tendencies lose their hold and the inner weather shifts. Calamity, then, is not punishment but a signal that a scarcity of alignment with your real self has persisted. You can reverse it by feeling the reality of a now-ordered consciousness and acting from that assumption in every moment.
