Rest Within: Dwelling in I AM

Neville's Inner Vision

Psalm 132:14 invites us to see rest as the very condition of God's consciousness. In Neville's terms, this rest is not a geographical location but a state of awareness in which the I AM, your true self, dwells. The verse names a lasting rest, a sacred dwelling within, because this is the natural home of God's presence in you. When you accept that the divine is already here, you stop seeking it as something outside and begin living from the assumed certainty that you are where God imagines you to be: at rest, fully attentive to the I AM. The mention of 'dwelling' signals a shift from movement to being; it asks you to consent to a continuous awareness, not a transient feeling. Your desires align with the inner temple, and by desiring it you empower your consciousness to frame reality from that inner seat. The more you dwell in this sense of I AM, the less the world's noise can unsettle you; your thoughts soften, your emotions settle, and outward events begin to echo the interior calm you have already assumed.
