Shadow of the Wicked

Neville's Inner Vision

To one who reads this through Neville Goddard's lens, the 'wicked' is not an external class but a state of consciousness denying the I AM within. Ecclesiastes says their days are a shadow when fear of God is absent; such an existence arises from a mind that treats life as a separate drama rather than the living assurance of God expressed as I AM. When you mistake your outer circumstances as reality, you contract your life to a shadow-marked pace. But the only true life is God as you; the moment you affirm 'I am the I AM,' you invite the divine order to manifest. Your days extend not by time itself, but by the thickness of awareness you bring to the present. The verse invites you to inspect your inner posture: do you dwell in fear of missing God, or in reverent presence that God is your life? By choosing the latter, you dissolve the shadow, and a fuller, steadier life—more harmony, more certainty—emerges as your inner state becomes your outer experience.
