Inner Covenant of Thought and Speech

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville Goddard, the thief and the adulterers in this verse are not others out there but states of consciousness you entertain. When you 'saw' a thief and found yourself agreeing with the image, you consented to that counterfeit reality within your own mind; you become a partaker with adulterers because your tongue begins to frame deceit as if it were real. The power of speech is the instrument by which you translate an inner conviction into outward appearance. If your inner dialogue praises cunning or lies, your world will echo back deceit. The key is to return to the I AM, the awareness that is always pure and true. Assume a different state: that you are unbroken integrity, the observer who cannot judge since you are the source of all you behold. Revise the feeling, feel the reality of a life where honesty and harmlessness are your habitual speech, and let your words align with that state. Your outer scene will reflect the inner revolution when you cease consenting to evil within.
