Shielded by Inner Counsel

Neville's Inner Vision

That Psalm does not narrate a distant battle between tribes; it reveals a battle within you. The secret counsel and the workers of iniquity are not persons but states of consciousness—fear, suspicion, and the urge to wound with bitter words. When you identify with your true I AM, you discover that these inner voices cannot penetrate the shield of awareness. The perfect is your own illuminated center, the I AM that nothing can touch; those covert arrows fly because you believe them, not because they harm you. Yet the heart of the matter is their scheming, their hidden laying of snares; they think they can outwit you. Neville would say: stop striving to protect the outer world and begin to inhabit the inner condition that makes the outer appear as it does. Assume the end—already free, already whole, already guarded by consciousness as the only reality. The inner picture you hold will dissolve the impression of attack, and the day you feel the secret as mere words in the air is the day you are truly safe.
