Cutting Off Inner Wickedness

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this verse, the 'wickedness' is a habit of mind, a persistent thought-form you have entertained. The 'LORD our God' is not a distant judge but the I AM, the steady awareness in which every feeling is revealed. When you cling to fear, blame, or grievance, you sow seeds that mature into conditions that seem to cut you off from life. The law returns through your own inner movements: you feel separate, you act out, and your world mirrors that separation. Yet the same law is the ally of your awakening. If you refuse to feed the old image and instead dwell in a new state—the state of I AM as your only reality—the old pattern is cut off by your new condition. The 'cutting off' is the pruning of a false self, not punishment; it releases you into wholeness, order, and direction. The moment you identify with the truth that you are already righteous and secure, your atmosphere shifts and formerly hostile conditions dissolve. This is the practical faith: revise the state using imagination until it is felt as fact in your body.
