Dark Path, Inner Angel

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville Goddard vantage, this line is not about waging war on others but about the war inside the mind. 'Their way' becomes a pattern of conscious thought—resentment, grievance, fear—that travels a dark, slippery road when I feed it. The 'angel of the LORD' is the I AM, the awakened awareness that can confront and dissolve a mistaken narrative. When I judge another, I am actually projecting a belief of separation and danger; that belief then makes my inner road feel treacherous. The inner angel does not persecute another as a person; it perseveres against my own dream of separation, waking me to revise my assumption. By choosing a state of unity—seeing the other as a reflection of my own wholeness—I pull the dark path into light and remove the slippery incline. The verse invites accountability: if I cling to vengeance or fear, I will experience a harsh dream; if I yield to the I AM and its clarity, the haunting becomes a gentle road. So I practice becoming the observer who notices a grievance, then assumes the opposite state, until feeling it real confirms the change.
