Inner Rhythms of Psalm 104

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider the verse not as external weather, but as the inner rhythm of your mind. The moon that marks seasons is the image of your own inner cycles—the turning of attention, the rise and fall of thought about supply. Night's darkness is the stage on which your subconscious moves, the crept beasts of impulse that awaken when you forget who you are. The lions that roar after prey denote the desires of your attention seeking their meat from God, which is to say, from your own I AM presence. They may prowl, but their nourishment comes from awakening to the truth that all seeking is already satisfied in the Father within. When the sun arises, the beasts retreat; this mirrors the moment you recognize illumination in your own consciousness and thus invite order into your life. Then, as man goes forth to work until evening, you see the outer day as the outward sign of your interior state. Your labor is the body's praise of the I AM, a creative act by which your inner provision is made manifest.
