Deliverance and Covenant Praise

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the tale is not a history of nations but a record of the I AM moving in awareness. Israel’s deliverances mirror the revolutions within your own consciousness, where a cry from the heart becomes the signal of a change in state. When you feel held by affliction, you are graduating into a new level of consciousness: God regards your pain not as punishment but as a call to remember the covenant you have assumed. The remembrance is not memory of the past but the present alignment of your attention with the promised good. The captors—the external troubles—yield when your inner sense of self shifts toward mercy and gratitude; to praise is to assent to the truth that your life is governed by the merciful, covenant-keeping I AM. Thus salvation is a mental act: you revise your sense of lack by assuming the already-given, and you celebrate it in the present, not in some distant future.
