Praise as Inner Practice

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the psalm does not ask you to chase outward miracles but to become the witness of inner works already completed in your mind. The LORD is your I AM, your awareness, who has done marvelous works within the field of your consciousness. When you praise with your whole heart—in the assembly of the upright, in the quiet of your inner congregation—you align with the enduring order that truth and uprightness are made manifest. His righteousness endures; thus your inner life is kept by a covenant, and remembrance of his gracious acts becomes memory of states already realized in imagination. The power of his works is not distant; it is the liberty you claim by recognizing that every perception you welcome as true is the result of the inner assumption you have made. The heritage he gives his people is the heritage of a mind that trusts the inner law and acts in harmony with it. So you are called to become aware of verity and judgment—your inner discernment aligns with forever-true principles.
