Inner Rest Through Divine Discipline

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the chamber of awareness, I hear the Psalm sing: the blessed man is one who does not chase externals, but permits the I AM to chasten and teach him from the inner law. The word 'chastenest' is not punishment but education—an adjustment of belief, a revision of imagination until the inner weather changes. When you yield to this discipline, you awaken to a rest that does not depend on circumstance. Adversity loses its sting because you interpret it as a signal that the old you is outgrown, a pit already dug for the wicked self, not for others. The 'law' becomes your living pattern of thoughts—loving, orderly, discerning—and with that alignment, doors close on doubt and open within you a stable peace. You are being trained into the consciousness that can endure without frantic effort. The blessing comes as you inhabit the state of the man who accepts discipline and, through it, rests in the I AM’s omnipresent guidance.
