Eyes Lifted to the I AM
Psalms 123:1-4 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read Psalms 123 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Psalm 123 speaks of lifting one’s eyes to heaven and waiting for the Lord’s mercy, especially under contempt and scorn. It frames faith as patient reliance on God’s mercy rather than the opinion of the proud.
Neville's Inner Vision
Read as a psychology of the inner man, Psalm 123 invites you to turn your attention away from the outward drama and toward the I AM within. The eyes that lift to heaven become the focus of your consciousness, and the 'hands of masters' become the offices of your own inner commands—when you look to the inner ruler, you grant mercy to your entire being. The shout of contempt you hear from the world is simply a vibration of your old self, a signal that you believed yourself separate from the one presence you are. By refusing to chase outward judgments and instead waiting upon the Lord, you align with the eternal mercy that already resides as your awareness. In Neville’s terms, mercy is not an event to obtain but a state you assume; your assumption functions as the creative act that dissolves fear and elevates your feeling to a higher octave of reality. When you dwell in the I AM and feel the true mercy of God, the conditions of contempt and scorn fade, replaced by a quiet confidence that you are seen and sustained by the Presence.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and imagine standing before the throne of the I AM, mindfully repeating: 'I am Mercy now.' Feel the mercy circulate through you, and revise any scene of scorn by sinking into that inner reality.
