Darkness and Upright Paths

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the stillness of your inner life, these lines point to a choice of states: to leave the paths of uprightness and wander in the darkness is not a mere external act but a consciousness shift. When you are enthroned in the I AM awareness, the light that guides you becomes either a path of truth or a playground of fear and desire. Rejoicing in evil and delighting in the frowardness of the wicked are the mind's celebrations of separation from harmony; they show up as inner complaints, justifications, and a stubborn refusal to align with higher law. The verse invites you to notice that such inner movements are not inflicted by an outside world but created by your inner arrangement of beliefs and pictures. By recognizing that you are the thinker behind every scene, you can revise: the 'darkness' is simply a mistaken thought, an unupheld image, which can be dissolved by a new alignment with the I AM. When you refuse to identify with those thoughts, you return to the path of uprightness, to obedience to your true nature, and you awaken holiness within and around you.
