Inner Cleansing of Psalm 139

Neville's Inner Vision

Beloved, these lines reveal that the true enemy is never another person but a state of consciousness that forgets its unity with the I AM. When the psalmist says, 'Surely thou wilt slay the wicked,' he is naming the natural disposition of an old, fear-born thought that opposes God within. To depart from 'bloody men' is to withdraw attention from those hostile narratives and stand in the light of your own awareness. The cry, 'They speak against Thee,' becomes a recognition that thoughts of separation arise within you whenever you forget your oneness with God; 'do I hate them with perfect hatred?' translates into a decisive refusal to identify with any thought that denies your divine nature. The lines 'Search me, O God, and know my heart' invite your I AM to audit every motive and belief, clearing out anything that blocks the everlasting way. When you yield to 'lead me in the way everlasting,' you are choosing to live from the eternal inside rather than the shifting appearances outside. This inward reformation is your power; as you revise your inner state, your outward world follows, reflecting the purity of your consciousness.
