Alive in Inner Praise

Neville's Inner Vision

Verse 115:17 presents a border between sleep and awakeness. The dead and the silent are not the neighborhood of the I AM; they are the old states of consciousness that refuse to acknowledge God as present. In Neville's language, God is the I AM, and imagination is the instrument by which truth moves from potential to actual. When you identify with lack, fear, or limitation, you are 'dead' to the Lord; when you refuse to declare your oneness, you are 'in silence' and your life appears only as the echo of an absent reality. The antidote is simple and practical: assume you are already praising the Lord right now, with the feeling that He is present as your own awareness. Let the sense of thanksgiving, worth, and infinite life saturate every thought. As you dwell in this assumed state, the outer world rearranges to reflect your inner psalm. This is resurrection: not a distant event, but a present revival of consciousness that re-presents itself in time.
