Inner Glory of Psalm 104

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, the enduring glory is not a distant event but the very state you inhabit. When you say, I am the glory of the Lord, you invite creation to respond as your inner environment. The tremble and the smoke of the hills become metaphors for the release of old conditions as you turn your attention from lack to the joy of God’s works. I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live, I will meditate on Him; these vows describe a continuous alignment with the I AM, where substitution of images occurs: the self that praises endures, the old doubts dissolve, and sweetness of contemplation grows. Let the sinners be consumed... let the wicked be no more—these phrases are not violence toward others but the clearing away of beliefs not truth; bless my soul, praise the LORD, is the soul’s recommitment to its origin in divine awareness. I am that awareness; the world I see is the result of my inward posture.
