Awaken the Stouthearted Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 76:5 describes a people who lean on the stout hearted force of the outer world and go asleep in a dream of self-sufficiency. Their hands are not found because their consciousness has not invited power into action. In the Neville sense, the stouthearted are not real giants of might but states of consciousness clinging to a worn-out sense of control. When you identify with such a state, you become spoiled and inert, a sleeping giant. The remedy is to reverse the equation: assume you are the I AM, and that the power you seek is your own awareness acting now. Feel it real. Imagine your hands busy, your mind clear, your steps guided by inner authority. Persist in that inner motion, and outer results will answer to it. The world yields to the vibration of a definite inner conviction. So you may rewrite the verse to yourself: the stouthearted sleep, yet I awaken to the might that is mine, and I act.
