Destruction and Renewal of Self

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville perspective, the line points to the inner operation of consciousness rather than to divine punishment of others. Destroyeth the perfect and the wicked means the old self-image—whether you call it virtuous or shadow—comes to an end under the irresistible action of the I AM. In this view, places, people, and events are inner states and movements; the only real theater is your own awareness. When a deeper realization awakens, both the image of flawless virtue and the image of wickedness are dissolved, making space for a higher self to emerge. The destruction is a reorganization of consciousness, not a denial of life but a clearing away of fixed identities that limit you. Embrace that every situation invites revision of who you think you are: the perfect you and the wicked you are one and the same movement of awareness, now transfigured by love and truth. Rest in the sense of I AM, knowing you are the designer who renews your nature through inner shift.
