Inner Speech and Integrity
Psalms 52:2 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 52 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 52:2 declares that the tongue devises mischief and deceit, signaling how inner dispositions manifest as outward speech. It shows that deceitful words reflect an inner state, not merely external circumstance.
Neville's Inner Vision
This line is not about someone else whispering danger into your life; it is a mirror of your own state of consciousness. The tongue is the instrument by which your inner life speaks aloud; when you believe in mischief, you invite a world that mirrors suspicion and harm. You are the I AM, the awareness that can revise reality from within. If you desire the sharp edge of deceit to melt away, assume a new state: the truthfulness that your word and your world are one. Picture your speech as a living beam of light that reveals what is already true about you: you are integrity in expression. In practice, revise by turning every thought of attack into a statement of possibility, every cutting remark into a healing observation, and every suspicion into trust in the good you are becoming. Your world is the theater of your inner life; change the mind, and the words change with it.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume the state of truthful speech; revise any inner mischief as you would a dream, until it resolves into trust. Feel it-real that your words are healing, uniting, and true.
