Inner Mercy Psalm Reflection

Neville's Inner Vision

Your cry 'Have mercy upon us' is not asking God to do something outside of you; it is a surrender to a new state of consciousness. Contempt, as described, is a mental weather you have accepted, a habit of mind that colors perception and feeling. The I AM within you—your true awareness—responds to the adjustment you make in imagination. When you dwell on mercy, you are inviting your own I AM to restructure your inner landscape, turning repulsion toward compassion and yourself toward love. The 'us' marks the collective you—the many faculties, the inner voices that must be gathered into one center. As you persist in the feeling of mercy, you revise the sense of separation and let forgiveness replace contempt. In that moment, outward circumstances begin to reflect the inward mercy, not by changing God, but by changing your sense of being seen and treated by the I AM. The practice is to assume the mercy as already present and to feel it until it feels real, until your entire internal climate is warm with grace.
