Perfect Self Against Secret Snares

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the Psalm, the they who shoot in secret are not others out there but states of consciousness—the anxious, envious, and calculating thoughts that seek to trap your sense of self. The perfect is your true I AM, the unperturbed awareness that cannot be harmed by overt schemes, for all outward plots are merely projections of your inner condition. When such thoughts arise, they whisper that they are unseen; Neville would have you answer by turning attention away from the plot and toward the observer who sees it all. The moment you assume I AM is watching, the fear dissolves because fear arises only where awareness is unaware. The law of imagination says you are not at the mercy of others cunning; you are the creator of your inner weather. By dwelling in the state of the unshakable I AM and imagining the perfect self protected, you reframe the scene: the snares vanish in the light of consciousness, and the outer world aligns with that inner truth.
