Awakening Discernment Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the temple of your mind, the clamorous woman is the state of consciousness that refuses quiet, branding every impulse as truth and fearing discovery. In Neville's sense, such a mind is not a person but a mode of thinking—the ego that believes it’s knowing while it remains ignorant of the I AM. When you identify with the clamor, you experience life as fragmentation; places and events surface as battles of opinion. Yet the I AM—the feeling of beingness behind all thoughts—knows nothing but itself and can revise the inner weather by assuming a higher state. You can say to yourself: I am the quiet observer now; I know through the I AM that all wisdom rests in discernment, not contention. The simple mind lacks the imaginative capacity to entertain new forms of reality; to expand, you must cease identifying with the noise and invite the still, all-knowing presence to rule your inner atmosphere. By imagining a new state—calm, perceptive, and tender—your outer world softens and reveals wisdom, not argument.
