Tree by Rivers Within

Psalms 1:1-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 1 in context

Scripture Focus

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Psalms 1:1-4

Biblical Context

The psalm describes the blessed person who avoids ungodly counsel and delights in the law, contrasted with the ungodly. It promises fruitfulness and stability to the mindful, while the wicked fade like chaff.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within the register of the I AM, blessedness is a state you enter when you stop listening to the crowd of doubt and resist the seat of scorn. Your delight is in the law of the LORD—your inner law, the principle of awareness that never fails—and you meditate on it day and night. By this discipline you become like a tree planted beside living water: nourished by imagination, your fruit appears in its season, your leaves stay fresh, and every act springs from a rooted certainty. Prosperity is not accidental; it flows from the inner alignment of feeling and thought with the imagined fulfilled state. The ungodly are those who forget this inner root; they drift and wither like chaff driven by the wind of circumstance. The practice is simple: repeatedly assume the presence of your fulfilled desire, revise every contrary thought, and feel it real now. Sit quietly, know the I AM, and let the river of inner law saturate your being until outward signs align with your inner tree.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare I AM that I AM; dwell in the law and feel the wish fulfilled now. Visualize one scene where your desire is complete and let the corresponding emotion saturate your being as if it were true.
