Pride's Imagination Recoil

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the inner theatre of consciousness, 'the wicked' is a state—pride that imagines itself strong by oppressing the humble. The 'poor' is the vulnerable part of you seeking mercy, clarity, and justice. When pride projects hostility outward, the mind does not escape the theater; it rehearses a drama in the devices imagined. The verse reveals a universal law: your attention births thoughts, and thoughts, like seeds, return as events. Let them be taken in the devices they have imagined means the inner mischief dissolves under the light of awareness. The I AM, your eternal consciousness, watches the drama without judgment. As you rest in the feeling of the wish fulfilled—recognizing unity and justice as your natural state—the prideful actor loses power, and the schemes you feared unravel by their own contrivances. The persecuting energy is neutralized by awareness of your true nature, and the humble part of you is restored through this inner vision. Trust the law of imagination: it can correct the scene when you refuse to identify with the projection.
