Praise as Inner Creation

Neville's Inner Vision

Remember that the verse does not ask you to labor to obtain favor, but to awaken to a state you already inhabit: the awareness of God's good works within your own being. In Neville’s terms, every verse is a description of a state of consciousness. Praise and thanksgiving are not ritual acts to appease an outside power, but inner recognitions that you, the I AM, are on the edge of a new reality. When you feel gratitude for the goodness you have imagined, you are aligning your inner self with what you desire. The 'works' spoken of are the shifts in perception, the quiet miracles of response you notice as you dwell in the feeling of already having what you seek. The sacrifices of thanksgiving are inner feelings, not offerings to be performed, and declaring his works with rejoicing is your interior speech affirming that what you sense in consciousness is already accomplished. Sit with this: gratitude as currency of dreamlike life, faith as the lamp, and your imagination the vessel that carries it into manifestation.
