Neville's Inner Vision

Think of this psalm as a map of consciousness. The counsel of the ungodly and the ways of sinners are not external places but the tempests of thought that try to set you apart from your I AM. Blessedness comes to the one who refuses those inner suggestions and turns instead to the Law of the LORD within—the pattern of perfect life that you already are. To delight in the Law is to align your attention with that inner principle and to dwell there, not merely to read about it. When you meditate day and night, you are rehearsing a firm inner assumption: that you are governed by divine order, that your sense of self is held by an unchanging law. The tree planted by rivers of water represents your true nature, nourished by continuous awareness, producing fruit in its season, its leaf never withering. Prosperity then follows from inner alignment, not from chasing outward signs. Place your faith in the inner law, let it revise every outward appearance, and your world will reflect the state you hold in quiet, persistent consciousness.
