Inner Scorn, Quiet I Am

Neville's Inner Vision

Your 'soul' is a state of consciousness, not a person. The scorning and the contempt described are inner movements of the I AM, the awareness you identify as 'I.' When you notice scorn toward those at ease, you are witnessing a mental movement—a judgment that the scene around you ought to be other than it is. The angry impulse toward the proud likewise reveals a posture within your own mind. Rather than interpreting these feelings as evidence of separation, recognize them as signals of the inner climate you are now cultivating. You are not at the mercy of others’ ease or pride; you are the I AM behind all scenes, the one who can revise any scene by a different assumption. If you persist in identifying with the I AM that feels judged or superior, you reinforce separation. But if you claim the consciousness that is untouched by either scorn or pride—realize that this is your natural state—you shift the entire atmosphere. In that shift, the very conditions that produced scorn and contempt begin to dissolve into the light of awareness. You are the creator, here and now, through the I AM you identify as.
