Inner Psalm Insight

Neville's Inner Vision

To the awakened I AM within, these lines invite you to realize that the cry and the word are one. When the psalmist says, let my cry come near before thee, you hear a state of consciousness reaching toward its own inner governor. The request, give me understanding according to thy word, is an invitation to identify with the Word as your natural state of awareness; understanding is not distant knowledge, but the very light by which you frame experience. Deliverance according to thy word is deliverance by recognizing that every appearance is shifting under the law you already are. The assertion that all thy commandments are righteousness declares that the inner order you follow becomes righteousness in action. Let thine hand help me, for I have chosen thy precepts means you have chosen the inner law and trust its causative power to guide you. The longing for salvation and the delight in the law signal that liberation is a byproduct of living in harmony with inner truth. Even the confession I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant reveals the practice: acknowledge deviation, return to the inner shepherd—the remembrance of thy commandments—until your soul is restored to praise.
