From Hatred to Inner Peace

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse is not a critique of an outward person but a revelation of your inner company. In Neville’s psychology, a place is an inner disposition and an event an inner movement. The line 'my soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace' shows you have allowed a companion—hatred of peace—to sit within, rehearsing conflict as if real. Yet you are not defined by that companion; you are the I AM, the conscious presence that imagines. To transmute the scene, revise the inner identity. Begin by adopting a new dwelling for your soul: peace. Feel serenity as your native atmosphere, and treat the prior disturbance as a passing dream. As you persist in this assuming, the inner movements soften, and your outer life begins to echo the new state. Remember, imagination creates reality; shift the state, and the world follows.
