Inner Paths and Temptations

Neville's Inner Vision

In Neville's voice: The warning in Proverbs is not about an external seductress but about a state of consciousness that tempts you away from your true nature. When you say 'let not thine heart decline to her ways' you declare that you will not entertain the images that would make you forget the I AM within. The 'paths' and the 'house' of death are inner movements of imagination—the moment you align with a thought of lack, fear, or degradation, you begin walking that road. Your strength lies in recognizing that the mind images you consent to are the maps of your life; to change them is to change your world. By choosing a wiser, purer state—integrity, discernment, holiness—you redraw the inner routes and thereby the outer results. The quiet power of awareness remains constant; your job is to stay anchored in that light, allowing it to govern every choice. The 'many wounded' are simply outcomes of a consciousness that forgets itself. Return to the I AM, and the path turns toward life instead of death.
