Psalm 101:5 condemns secretly slandering a neighbor and harboring pride, stating such inner dispositions are not endured by God. The verse highlights how inner attitudes shape reality.
Neville's Inner Vision
To the seeker who believes herself implicated by petty words, Psalm 101:5 declares that secretly slandering a neighbor is cut off, and a proud heart will not be suffered. In Neville Goddard's reading, these lines describe the inner weather of consciousness, not a mere social rule. Slander is a thought-world activity, a projection that lowers the I AM's vibration. When you entertain the idea that another is separate from you, you feed a state of pride and fear that blocks truth. The I AM does not tolerate such inner clamor; it calls you to align with unity, truth, and charity. The remedy is simple: cease mentally denigrating others and begin treating them as images of your own higher self, mirrors of your inner light. By recognizing that the neighbor is you in disguise, you soften the judgment and invite harmony. Choose a higher self now—one that speaks with integrity, compassion, and humility—and feel the reality of that state until it becomes your mood, your next perception, your life.
Practice This Now
Imaginative Act: Sit quietly and assume the I AM presence. Revise any lingering slander by declaring: 'I now choose thoughts of unity and truth toward every neighbor,' then feel the reality of that higher state for a few minutes.
