Inner Law, Tree of Life

Psalms 1:2-5 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read Psalms 1 in context

Scripture Focus

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.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psalms 1:2-5

Biblical Context

Psalm 1:2-5 contrasts the joy of meditating on the LORD's law with the outcomes of a rooted life versus the drift of the ungodly.

Neville's Inner Vision

Imagine the Psalm as a scene inside your own mind. The law of the LORD is not a distant rule but a steady state of consciousness you enter by attention and desire. When you delight in that law, you choose to dwell in a thought-world where truth governs feeling, and you keep that focus through the day and night. In that disciplined thinking you are like a tree planted by rivers of water—your life draws from an inner source, bearing fruit in its season, your leaves never withering, and every deed prospering because your mind has found its rightful fire. The ungodly are not kept apart by fate but by their own drift—like chaff scattered by the wind, mistaking sensation for substance. Judgment then arises not as external verdict but as inner alignment: you cease standing in the place of projection and begin standing in the presence of your true I AM. Thus you join the congregation of the righteous, a state of consciousness that endures and prevails regardless of outward appearances.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Close your eyes and assume, right now, that you delight in the inner law. Feel yourself rooted by a river of awareness and declare, I AM the tree that prospers because I think and live according to truth.
