12To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things;

Biblical Context

The verses warn of an evil man who speaks crooked words and abandons upright paths for darkness, urging discernment and alignment with wisdom.

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines reveal that the 'evil man' and his froward speech are not external tyrants but states of consciousness within you. The 'paths of uprightness' are the aligned patterns of thought that resonate with the I AM, the living awareness you truly are. When you harbor the crooked voice, you wander in darkness; when you renounce it and dwell in the feeling of wisdom, you are delivered. The deliverance described is inward: a revision of inner speech, a letting go of froward inclinations, and an unwavering trust that you are the creator of your inner climate. By discerning the thoughts that promote true alignment and choosing the wise inner guide, you walk a path that outwardly manifests as clarity and rightful action. Your life responds to the inner state you consistently inhabit, reflecting the quality of your inner decision to live in truth.

Practice This Now

Assume the wise self now. Close your eyes, repeat, I am the I AM, the wisdom guiding every step, and feel the inner alignment as you walk the upright path.
