Dwelling in Inner Truth
Psalms 101:7 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 101 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 101:7 declares that deceit and lying have no place in the speaker's inner sanctuary or sight.
Neville's Inner Vision
Within the verse lies a simple law of psychology: you cannot inhabit a house built on falsehood while the I AM is your awareness. Deceit and lying are not crimes in some external judgment; they are states of consciousness that push you out of the inner sanctuary. When you cling to stories of lack or control, you depart from your true self and your inner sight becomes clouded. But the I AM in you is forever truth, waiting for you to align with it. To reinterpret this Psalm, step into your mental room and refuse deceit as a way of being. Assume the state of complete honesty, revise every thought and word to reflect integrity, and feel it real that you dwell in truth. Persist in that assumption until the imagined deceit dissolves, leaving you tranquil, present, and dwelling in the inner house where truth is your light and your sight.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and affirm: I am truth; deceit has no place in my inner house. Revise lingering thoughts of deceit by repeating, 'I dwell in integrity,' until it feels real.
