Slay the Wicked Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this line, the 'wicked' is not a band of outsiders but the stubborn belief in separation that arises in your mind. God, here the I AM, is your continuous awareness; nothing can injure the one who knows itself as consciousness. To 'slay the wicked' is to loosen your hold on the thought that you are two—watcher and alien world. When you imagine God removing those 'bloody men,' you are not calling down punishment from heaven; you are admitting that in your inner vision you depart from the energy of fear, prejudice, and projection. The phrase becomes a practical instruction: withdraw your attention from the image of conflict and rest in the unity of being. Your world responds to your inner state, so a simple revision—'I am united, this separation is a dream'—causes the outward appearance to soften. The act is felt, not debated: assume the I AM as the sole reality and watch the sense of division dissolve into peace. The judgment you fear is your own character in consciousness, and its end is the awakening to oneness.
