Purified Speech Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Your verse shows the mouth as the outermost window of a hidden state. In Neville's light, their throat being an open sepulchre is the mind believing itself as separation from God, and their tongue's deceit is the inner rhetoric of fear. The 'poison of asps under their lips' is the subconscious poisons stored in memory—resentment, judgment, the impulse to curse another—presenting as spoken words. The remedy is to awaken to the I AM that is always speaking, the one permanent Self that cannot be stained by words. When you notice a thought or word that carries bitterness, do not fight it; close your eyes and assume a new state: 'I AM the living Word of God through which life, truth, and purity flow.' Feel the reality of that assurance as if it already exists. Speak from that assumed consciousness, not from the old state of fear. Your speech then becomes the sign, not of deceit, but of indivisible love transforming your world.
