Inner Path of Righteousness
Psalms 1:4-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 1 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The psalm contrasts two inner states: the ungodly are rootless like chaff and cannot stand in judgment. In contrast, the way of the righteous is known by the LORD and endures, while the ungodly perish.
Neville's Inner Vision
Psalm 1:4–6 speaks to the states of consciousness you inhabit. The ungodly are not so; they are like chaff blown away by the wind—empty, rootless thoughts, appetites, and judgments that have forgotten their I AM. Judgment here is not a courtroom but a shift in awareness: the inner wind reveals what you truly are. The LORD knows the way of the righteous—the way you have already chosen in your awareness. When you dwell in the I AM, you are the steadfast tree planted by living waters, unmoved by appearances. The way of the ungodly shall perish because it has no enduring footing in consciousness; it dissolves as you cease to identify with it. Your transformation is simply a revision of what you accept as real: you are the consciousness that remains, the reality that endures, and the outer scene must reflect your inner settledness. In this light, the Psalm invites you to establish a permanent alignment with the inner reality that the LORD recognizes as yours.
Practice This Now
Assume the I AM as your anchoring reality and imagine wind blowing away chaff—fear, doubt, and restless thought—leaving you rooted in consciousness. Feel the truth of the righteous path as already established within you.
