Foot of Pride: Inner Deliverance

Neville's Inner Vision

Know this: 36:11 speaks not of a battle out there, but a shift inside. The foot of pride is the lingering sense that you must prove yourself, that your worth is measured by outward success. The hand of the wicked is the haunting impression that others can reach in and remove you from peace. In Neville's terms, you are the I AM, and all scripture is a description of states you can assume. When you refuse the forward march of pride and accept the quiet, settled state that you are already in the safety of God's awareness, you disarm the threat. The outside world becomes a mirror of your inner alignment; Providence is the steady, inner intelligence that guides decisions when you rest in your true self. Practice this by choosing the state of inviolate security right now, and letting it color every thought and feeling. The verse invites you to revise, not the world, but your awareness of it, until the attack dissolves in the vast calm of your I AM.
