Inner Blessing of Awareness

Neville's Inner Vision

Bless the LORD, O house of Israel... you are not speaking to people long ago, but to the states you inhabit in consciousness. The 'house of Israel' is the awakened mind, the 'house of Aaron' the sacred service of inner discipline, the 'house of Levi' the priestly wisdom, and 'ye that fear the LORD' the reverent awareness that feels the I AM behind all you call 'I.' When you say 'bless the LORD,' you are not asking God to bless something outside you; you are awakening the awareness that the I AM is already blessing all your inner houses. The impulse to bless is the decision that the truth of the I AM reigns now, in every facet of your being. The verse invites a harmonized alignment: all facets bless the one. In Neville's terms, you revise your sense of separation and claim the feeling of abundance, safety, and gratitude as your immediate state. The act of blessing is a state-change, not a ritual; it is your inner recognition that the divine presence is the director of your life. As you practice, you 'fear' the LORD—meaning you honor the I AM with reverent attention—and your whole consciousness responds with praise, turning lack into fullness.
