Inner Praise After Anger

Neville's Inner Vision

Isaiah's line is not about distant history, but about the moment you, the I AM, awaken to the truth that God's anger is a misreading of your own consciousness. 'That day' is the day you realize you are one with the Self that names itself LORD, the inner ruler of your world. When you say, 'I will praise thee,' you are not petitioning an external deity; you are rooting your attention in the feeling-state of gratitude that dissolves guilt. The perception of God's anger being turned away corresponds to a revision in your inner weather: you acknowledge the emotion, then let it dissolve, replacing it with the comforting presence that always attends you. True worship, in Neville's sense, is the alignment of imagination with the end you desire - peace, safety, and the sense of being loved. As you inhabit this verdict of the I AM, you experience the end of separation and the return of Shalom in your mind and body. Your world reflects the inner state: praise becoming reality, comfort becoming you now.
