Inner Justice, Inner Joy

Neville's Inner Vision

In the vault of your consciousness, the cry 'happy shall he be' is not a call for cruelty in the outer world, but a confession of the inner state you have entertained. The psalmist declares that the moment his grievance feels justified in his imagination, he imagines power: the inner I AM stands as the one who sets the terms of reality, and the stones symbolize the stubborn cases of fear and memory you worship as law. When you, in imagination, dwell on punishment, you are simply rehearsing the belief that the world will reflect that vengeance back to you. Yet the I AM knows no other reality than your own immersion in awareness; thus the 'happy' man is really the one who has aligned with the truth that all appearances obey an interior state. The remedy is not to fortify a punitive fantasy but to revise it into a decision of dominion: you, as consciousness, decree that no hurt remains unconquered, only transformation. By assuming the feeling that your own will is complete within, you dissolve the need to strike; you allow peace to replace the impulse, and the outer scene rearranges to match the new state.
