Light of the Word Within

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville lens, this psalm becomes a map of the inner state. The testimonies are your inner convictions—wonderful because they awaken the I AM to its rightful authority. When you sense that the entrance of thy words gives light and understanding to the simple, you are noticing that inner illumination arises as you consent to the ruling idea that you are not ignorant but already governed by divine law. Your soul longs for commandments because you are hungry to align every thought with order. Look upon me and be merciful unto me becomes an inner invitation for the I AM to look inward and grant mercy to the self that loves its true name. Order my steps in thy word and permit no iniquity to rule in me translates to a firm decision to hold to the inner law and release conflicting beliefs. Deliver me from the oppression of man means releasing the mental oppressions that pretend to limit me; by keeping thy precepts I prove the mind is governed by the higher order. Make thy face shine upon thy servant and teach me thy statutes: as light returns, tears of release come when the belief in separation dissolves.
