Inner Honor, Beastly Folly

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 49:20 speaks of a man who is clothed in honour yet lacks true discernment; such a one is described as no different from beasts that perish. In the Neville mode, the outer award of status is but a shadow on the screen of consciousness. Real worth does not rise from applause or riches; it arises from an inner knowing—recognizing that you are the I AM, the timeless observer who makes the world through imagination. When you hunger for honour apart from understanding, you defend a self that is not sovereign, and the inner light dims; you become subject to the capricious wind of appearances, a beast of pride that devours its own image. The key is to reverse this by aligning your inner state with Truth: assume the awareness of being the I AM, and revise any belief that external honour confirms your reality. Let the ego fall away and let discernment—gentle, quiet understanding—take its seat. When you know you are the observer, not the observed, you transcend the perishing screen of honour and awaken to wisdom that endures.
