Hedge of Thorns, Path of Righteousness

Neville's Inner Vision

Two inner dispositions stand at the crossroads of your day. The slothful mind, refusing to decide, makes life a hedge of thorns where every thought pricks movement and doubt grows like ivy. The righteous mind, however, awakens to the I AM presence within and discovers that the path is not a distant road but a pavement you lay through conscious assumption. When you stand in imagination as if the end has already been reached, the inner landscape rearranges itself and the thorny undergrowth falls away. Procrastination loses its grip, fear recedes, and clarity arises. The verse does not announce outer hardship but invites you to inspect your inner state: are you choosing to dwell in delay, or to dwell in the certainty that you are already on the way? Neville would teach you to revise by replacing lack with evidence of completion, to feel the feel of arrival now, and to walk the imagined route with steady steps. Practice this: refuse to entertain a future that looks uncertain, and hold the I AM as your starting point, then see the way become plain.
