Silencing the Evil Speaker Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 140:11 whispers to the listener that an evil speaker should not establish itself in the earth, because the law will hunt the violent man to overthrow him. Now hear it as a description of your own inner life. The 'evil speaker' is merely a habit of doubt and attack you have allowed in the theater of your mind. The earth you see is the outward result of the inner speech you repeatedly entertain. If you feed the voice of violence—about yourself or others—the inner movement will return as circumstance that overtakes you. But you can reverse it by assuming the I AM, the eternal awareness that you are, and by revising the scene with words of justice, mercy, and truth. Do not argue with the old script; simply choose a new sentence in your imagination and feel it real—your inner voice now a guardian, not a judge. When you dwell in that awareness, the outward world shifts to reflect a life where evil speech cannot stand and where integrity governs.
