Inner Shield of Wisdom

Neville's Inner Vision

These lines invite you to recognize that wisdom is not external but stored within your own I AM. The 'righteous' are simply those who consent to the truth of their awakened state, the uprightness of their inner stance. When you inhabit that state, the 'buckler' appears as an inner certainty: protection by the living awareness you call God, not a distant event. The 'paths of judgment' become your inner discernment—your ability to see through appearances and choose in alignment with your true nature. The verse promises that such alignment preserves the way of the saints, meaning your life flows along according to your steadfast identification with your I AM. In practice, as you exercise the assumption that wisdom is already laid up within you, you experience steadiness, timely decisions, and fewer upsets from external events. Your imagination works as the storing chamber: you are guarded by a conscious presence that guides each thought, word, and action toward harmony with the divine order. Remember: the outer world mirrors your inner alignment, and you are never separate from the shield that your consciousness provides.
