Inner Temptation Lesson

Neville's Inner Vision

Whether the 'evil woman' stands as a person or as a state of distraction, the verse speaks to the watcher within. In Neville's key, you are not grabbing at a stranger's charm but entertaining and validating a thought-world that would pull you from your true self. The 'flattery of the tongue' is a persuasive vibration that tempts you to replace your I AM with a lighter mood—imagination flirting with danger, imagery sharpening into desire. When you lust after beauty in your heart, you are letting a false representation define what feels real. The eyelids warn you that the momentary appeal seeks to crown your inner life with its image rather than letting you know your constant, unchanging awareness. Stand as the observer, for the kingdom is within. Your outer encounters merely reflect an inner habit; change the habit, and the form dissolves. Faith becomes a practiced feeling: you are secure in your I AM, not moved by appearances, and the present moment re-creates itself as you refuse to entertain that which would dethrone your consciousness.
