Inner Upright Living

Neville's Inner Vision

Walk uprightly is not a social pose but a state of consciousness. Righteousness is the alignment of inner conviction with outward acts; to speak truth in the heart means thoughts and words are congruent with the I AM, the awareness of wholeness. When you backbite or harbor ill will toward a neighbor, you reveal a mind split, a dream of lack. The outer world mirrors the inner motion you sustain, so if you desire a just and peaceful world, cultivate an inner attitude that never condemns and never curses, but remains steadfast in truth and kindness. If you wish to be the upright man, assume this state now; revise any past misdeeds by affirming, I am the one who walks in truth in the heart and speaks only what enriches all beings. Feel the reality of this alignment, and let your speech flow from that inner light rather than from judgment.
