Inner Foundations of Divine Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

Here the psalmist asks, what can the righteous do when the ground of common life seems to fall away? Remember that the foundation you stand on is a state of consciousness, not brick and mortar. The LORD in his holy temple is the I AM within you, heaven’s throne resting in your awareness. Eyes that behold and eyelids that try are your inner faculties, testing what you have taken as real to be sure it is aligned with love and justice. The Lord does not abandon the righteous; he refines them by the very trials that press outwardly. The contrast with the wicked shows that the self-accusing mind and violent tendencies perish in the heat of revelation, while the faithful are brought to sharper discernment. Trust that your consciousness is under loving scrutiny, and use the moment to revise your assumption: that you are the righteousness of God, already judged by the light you inhabit. In this light, the apparent collapse becomes the doorway to a deeper kingdom within.
