I AM Shields Against Discord

Neville's Inner Vision

In Proverbs 6:17–19, the 'proud look' is not a mere attitude; it is a state of consciousness that exalts the separate self. The 'lying tongue' and 'false witness' reveal an inner speech that distorts truth and denies the I AM. 'Hands that shed innocent blood' and 'feet swift to mischief' show how restless, violent imaginations become outward acts, eroding harmony. 'An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations' demonstrates the constant habit of condemning and plotting within, while 'he that soweth discord among brethren' marks the inner division that, like seed sown in soil, bears bitter fruit in relationships. Neville's teaching makes reality mental: by changing the belief you stand in—the I AM—these dispositions melt away. When you assume the state of peace, integrity, and truth, you stop feeding mental images that birth harm and you stop identifying with pride. As you align with truth, you invite harmony into your inner life and the world you awaken. Your life becomes the natural expression of your inner alignment with truth.
