Belief, Speech, and Illusion

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider belief as an inner state that animates speech and events. When I hold a quiet conviction of my I AM being the truth of life, I speak from that inner state and the world moves to harmonize with it. The psalmist speaks from faith and experiences great affliction, which exposes the stubbornness of a former fear based assumption. The line I said all men are liars is not a fact about others but a misread state inside me. The remedy is to return to I AM and revise the belief about people and circumstance. Assume now that I am whole and reliable, and let my words proceed from that end as if it already existed. If I feel the reality of that state, my speech becomes a natural expression of truth rather than a reaction to error. By dwelling in the felt reality of the desired state, I align events with that state and the old cynicism loses its grip. In this inner transformation the spoken word becomes a confirmation of inner truth rather than a counter to appearances.
