From Depths to Inner Mercy

Neville's Inner Vision

Consider that the voice crying from the depths is your own awareness, your I AM awake within the psyche. The 'LORD' you seek is the ever-present attention of consciousness, and to hear your voice is to acknowledge that you are already attended to by the inner listener. The line about marking iniquities exposes a mortal law of judgment; yet in the inner kingdom there is no sentence that negates your being. When you feel the wish arising—a longing to be heard and held by the divine—return to the assumption that you are heard now, fully and only by your I AM. By assuming this state, the subconscious responds, reforming memories of guilt into experiences of mercy. The psalmist's question 'who shall stand?' dissolves when you stand in the consciousness that forgives and covers all. The act is inner and immediate: you revise limitation with the felt sense of grace, you still the mind, and you affirm: I am heard, I am whole, I am loved.
