Depths of Hidden Thought

Neville's Inner Vision

To the reader of Neville’s school, this line is not about others but about your own inner weather. 'They search out iniquities' is the mind’s habit of cataloging faults, yet the real depths belong to your state of consciousness—the inward thought and the heart you assume as true. When you identify with the I AM—the witnessing awareness that stands behind every thought—you see that the act of searching is itself a projection of your current state. The terms 'deep' and 'diligent' describe not others’ souls but the seriousness with which you accept a given mental climate. By choosing a different state, you revise the scene: imagine yourself as pure awareness, free from judgment, and watch as the mental motion settles. The outer world you think you are judging is only the stage on which your inner conditions appear; change the condition, and the appearance dissolves. So dwell in the consciousness that watches thoughts without condemnation, and you liberate the heart from its heaviness, until integrity, holiness, and truth feel native again.
