The Inner Path of Light

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 18 speaks not of distant streets but of inner states. The 'path of the just' is the living conviction that you are the light that shines, a light that grows clearer as you dwell in it. The 'perfect day' is the moment when your awareness recognizes itself, not a distant event. Verse 19 warns that the 'way of the wicked' is darkness, and stumbling is the natural byproduct of dwelling in fear, doubt, or resentment. In Neville's terms, the world you encounter is the materialization of your inner pictures. If you imagine yourself as one who already walks in radiant certainty, your steps follow that light and the apparent obstacles melt into alignment. The key is to treat imagination as cause and life as the effect of inner assumption. When a shadow arises, do not argue with it; revise your sense of self to match the light you claim. Your job is to keep the inner image bright, because the outer path follows the inner brightness. Practice and persist, and the day of perfect clarity becomes your habitual experience.
