Divine Reversal Within

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice that the speaker treats the man living in perfect alignment with the I AM as already protected and nourished by God. In Neville’s law, God is not a distant judge but the You that never leaves itself, the inner state that cannot be cast away. When the verse says God will not cast away a perfect man, it is saying your essential consciousness cannot be forsaken by itself. The line about filling the mouth with laughter and the lips with rejoicing is the felt sense of reality in which your thoughts are turned from fear to exaltation. The enemies who hate thee are but the old images of limitation clothed in shame by your renewed awareness; the dwelling place of the wicked coming to nought is the disintegration of the old, non-existent world when you rest in the present freedom of your I AM. Practice assumes that you are already the man or woman who does not suffer, and then you revise every fear into a joyous present-tense experience. Your imagination is the hammer that breaks the old walls and reveals the laughter you are meant to speak.
