Walking the Davidic Path Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the text speaks of right conduct not as outward ceremony, but as inner alignment. The LORD is the I AM within you; to do right is to align your state of consciousness with that indwelling command. David stands as the archetype of a faithful mind—the paternal line of awareness you are to inhabit. To 'walk in all the way of David' is to dwell in a persistent, undistracted mode of being, a normality of certainty that does not skim the surface for sensations or appearances. The phrase 'turned not aside to the right hand or to the left' becomes, in Neville's language, a refusal to be pulled by fear, desire, or circumstance away from the inner law. When you linger in that state, your imagination becomes the instrument by which reality bends to your inner conviction. Your job is not to persuade the world but to embody the end: you are already the one who walks David's line—the faithful I AM within—unmoved by apparent odds. Practice this: assume you are the right state now, revise any sense of failure, and feel it real that you are on the straight path of inner truth.
