Liberation Through Praise

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Neville’s teaching, the LORD is the I AM within you, and praise is the act of turning your attention to the good that already exists in consciousness. When you give thanks for His goodness, you do not seek an outside relief; you become the ruler of your own inner weather, and the imagined sensation of freedom dissolves the supposed gates. The 'gates of brass' and 'bars of iron' are beliefs, habits, and identifications that keep you separated from your true self. As you dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled—release, safety, and liberation—the walls crumble because you have shifted the state you occupy. The verse asks for praise as a conscious act that reorients your inner world; in that reorientation, the external is rearranged to match the inner certainty. So, persist in gratitude, imagine the open gates, and allow your awareness to do the rest; your reality follows the consciousness you insist upon.
