Inner Bridle of the Tongue

Neville's Inner Vision

My consciousness is the true scene of the psalm. The 'I' that says, 'I will take heed to my ways,' is the I AM choosing a higher center from which all speech originates. When I declare, 'I will keep my mouth with a bridle,' I am not silencing the world; I am aligning my creative power with truth. The 'wicked before me' represents outward appearances that attempt to steer my tongue, but what I permit in my mouth becomes my reality. To guard the tongue is to guard what I allow to take root in imagination—words that bless, heal, and order my life. By choosing to speak from wholeness rather than reaction, I reverse the usual cause-and-effect: speech shapes experience, and inner discipline invites right conditions. Thus, the discipline is not constraint but sacred guardrails around the inner state. In this royal consciousness, I see that the mouth follows the inner posture; and as I hold to a serene, truthful cadence, my world follows suit, harmonizing with the inner light I keep lit within.
