Inner Path of Upright Preservation

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 16:17 invites us to an inner highway: the upright depart from evil by refusing its imagery and actions in mind. The ‘soul’ you save is your present awareness—the I AM that notices, chooses, and persists. When you identify with a state that keeps the way clear of harm, you prevent the corrosion of life by fear or petty resentments. The outer world confirms the inner: a clean, steady life follows from a clean, steady inner discipline. Your task: accept a new assumption about yourself as the one who consciously guides the traffic of thoughts; revise any image of yourself succumbing to evil into one of harmony and strength. Feel as if this revised state is already true, and let imagination do the rest. The highway of the upright is not a moral struggle but a transformation of your inner state; as you maintain it, your soul is preserved, and the body and circumstances reflect the clarity of your consciousness.
