The Tongue's Boomerang Meditation

Neville's Inner Vision

Your inner state is the law; the tongue you fear or condemn is the instrument you wield in secret. In Psalm 64:8, what they say about others boomerangs back, driving them away from the very spectacle they created. When you judge a person or a situation, you are simply rehearsing a belief about yourself, and that belief returns as outward circumstance. The I AM in you does not punish; it reveals. So revise the scene inside: imagine you hear a harsh word spoken about you, and answer not with fear but with the conviction, 'I am that I am; my thoughts choose my world.' If you hear others plotting, observe with detachment and bless their freedom; the thought-form dissolves, and those opinions vanish, leaving you in peace. By feeling as the ruler who does not need to defend or attack, you become immune to the spell of words. The tongue then falls upon itself, and you see the crowd scatter not by fear, but because you have shifted the inner atmosphere to love and authority.
