Whispered Petitions of Psalm 140:8

Neville's Inner Vision

In the Neville Goddard style, you must see that God is the I AM within you and that the verse is a confession of consciousness. When it says Grant not the desires of the wicked, it is speaking to the inner man to withhold the imaginal scenes that produce fear, hate, or domination. The wicked are not outside forces but persistent patterns of limitation you have entertained in your mind. Selah, the pause, invites you to stop projecting and to turn awareness toward a higher order that is immune to those lower images. Providence is always here, but its operation follows your state of consciousness. By refusing energy to the negative designs of those inner or outer forms, you starve them of the breath that would make them real. Your I AM remains untouched by injury or malice, and you realign your thoughts toward harmony, justice, and compassion. Judgment becomes a gentle correction of belief, not retaliation, and you witness the power of your own consciousness to reorganize your world.
