Serpent Tongues, Pure Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

To read Psalm 140:3 through the I AM within you is to see that the tongue is a mirror of your inner state. The sharpened words and the poison beneath the lips reveal a consciousness conditioned by fear, anger, and judgment, not a separate enemy in the world. When you believe your life is threatened by another's speech, you consent to a living serpent in your reality. But the verse invites you to return to the one constant you can trust: awareness itself, the I AM that remains unmoved by others’ venom. If you desire pure speech, you must cultivate a different inner vibration—truthful, compassionate, and fearless. Speak not to conquer others, but to acknowledge the truth of your own being and to bless what is spoken around you. By inhabiting a higher speech in your inner dialogue, you dissolve the power of the poisoned words and restore harmony to your inner atmosphere. The world you perceive will shift as your inner conviction shifts, until you live in a state where your words are the healing light of your awakened I AM.
