Illusion of the Right Path

Neville's Inner Vision

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is death. In the psyche, 'the way' is a state of consciousness you inhabit; when you identify with pride, fear, or self-will, you are imagining consequences from that state and sowing your undoing. The death here is the collapse of life-as-feeling within consciousness, not merely a bodily result. The remedy is inner revision: consult the end-state you desire and align your present feeling with that end, rather than chasing appearances. Invoke the I AM—the universal awareness within you—and declare you are already in possession of true life by virtue of your inner truth. Revise beliefs into the state that the end is safety, vitality, and truth, not ruin. Imagine a daily habit of turning from outer cleverness to inner fidelity, and feel the reality of that end as if it already exists. When you align with that inner conviction, the outward path begins reshaping itself toward life rather than death.
