Awakening the Inner Kingdom

Neville's Inner Vision

Viewed through the I AM, this psalm is not about distant nations, but about states of consciousness. Wrath is the inner recoil we feel when our self-concept is identified with lack, limitation, or fear. When I believed in separation from my divine inheritance—the wholeness and authority that are mine by nature—the inner law of opposition arose. The heathen and the rulers are the voices within me that whisper, 'you are not enough,' 'you cannot prevail,' 'you deserve suffering.' They exercise power only because I have consented to their rule by imagining myself as separate from my source. The exile is the temporary condition of a mind that has forgotten its true kingliness; the return is the remembered reality that the I AM rules all inner weather. The moment I consciously assume I am the I AM, that I am sovereign in my own consciousness, the power of external conditions slackens and bends to my renewed inner alignment. The 'wrath' becomes a signal to revise, not a verdict to endure.
