Inner Peace vs Deceitful Plot

Neville's Inner Vision

See that the verse is not about armies but about the inner weather of consciousness. 'They speak not peace' flags the thoughts and circumstances that pretend to threaten your calm, the 'deceitful matters' that seem to conspire against the quiet land of your awareness. In Neville's language, the land is your state of I AM—your uninterrupted sense of being and awareness—untouched by appearances. When you face such deceit, you are not asked to resist them with force but to recognize them as movements within your own imagination. The moment you assume a different state, one that speaks peace, the deceit loses its power to stir you. By dwelling in the feeling of the wish fulfilled, by treating peace as already present, you rewrite the inner script and, accordingly, your outward life begins to mirror that inner calm. The plots of fear dissolve when you abide as the I AM that is peace, watching the theater of appearances without being pulled into it. So revise, feel it real, and permit your quiet land to govern the scene rather than the noise around it.
